Best response to Evan's Gambit?

Sort:

I often find myself unable to play against the Evan's Gambit. It is one of those openings where I get crushed if someone plays it against me? What is the best response to this opening?

Damian Lemos has a good video of the Evans Gambit Accepted with 5...Be7. It's pretty straightforward.  You can skip forward to about 3:40.  That's where it really begins.
