It's true, Kyle!.. I tried it with white in two of my OTB games with excellent result. For my regret, I achieved only a draw when playing it in a correspondent game (BG-final Individual Accelerated Correspondent Chess Championship, 2011). There it is:

[Event "DIP ACC Chess"]
[Site "BCCF"]
[Date "2011.06.08"]
[White "Vasil Vasilev"]
[Black "Deyan Davidov"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

Qd2 1/2-1/2

Imho, best play from both sides - so I recommend it as the second player's answer to this setup. 
Still I think that being the first player in an OTB game against an unprepared opponent I'll be ferocious with this 3.e4!? 

I am trying my luck out there with the QGA. Then my inventive opponent threw this in my face:

1 Nf3 d5
2 c4 dxc4
3 e4!?

I tried 3.. b5 and got in a bunch of trouble.

A (2200) kibitzer who seemed to know a bit about every opening said maybe 3 .. e5 is the best. But 4 BxP Nc6 seems like a poor cousin of 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6. I gave away a centre pawn for a c-pawn and he got a free tempo.

Houdini is undecided between Nf6, Be6, c5 and Bg4. I don't like using the computer at such an early stage though - does anyone have some tips about this strange move?
