Favorite Chess Openings?

This is for those of you who are more competitive at this game....

What is your favorite chess opening(s)?

Here is a list of mine:

1. Kings Indian Defense (KID): 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 e6

2. Sicilian Defense; Classical Variation: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 d6

3. Smith Morra Gambit is quite fun (A sideline of the Sicilian Def): 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3

4. St. George Defense. A very bad opening, but you can pull surprises with it against beginners: 1...a6

Re: Favorite Chess Openings?

I have a gambit, of my own invention, that I was reasonably successful with, when playing competitive chess.
1.b4 Nf6 2.Bb2 e6 3.e3 Bb4 4.g4, here are the continuations from a couple of recent internet games:
a) 4.... Nc6 5.g5 Ne4 6.Bd3 Nc5 7.Bg7 Rg8 8.Bf6 Nd3 9.d3 Be7 10.Be7 Qe7 11.h4 etc, black won
b) 4.... h6 5.h4 c5 6.Rh3 Rg8 7.g5 Nd5 8.Qh5 Qb6 9.Bg7 Rg7 10.h6 Rg8 11.h7 Rh8 12.Rf3 etc, white won.
