St. George Defence
2...b5
White should now start to defend his pawn center. White cannot play Nc3 because of b4 but can play /3. Nf3/ or /3. Bd3/. As little theory is available on this position, it's hard to tell whether there are other good moves. /3. g3/ sounds interesting as well as /3. f4/ or /3. c4/.
