Subject: Sicilian ... What does white play from this position?

1. e4 c5, 2. Nf3 Nc6, 3. d4 cxd4, 4. Nxd4, Nf6, 5. Nc3 e5, 6. Nb5
Bb4....
What is white's approach here? and what are black's plans?
if a3, then black can exchange his bishop for the knight and is he
getting into a bad position? I dont see a bad position for black here.
if white plays Nd6+ then Ke7, Nf5+ Kc8 and black pushes for d5.
So what can be a counter for this from white's end?

Thanks a lot. I played a game that went on similar lines and as white,
i was able to win with out black being able to put a lot of pressure on
white.

By me, black is a bit unprecise playing 6...Bb4. If I was black, I'll be
play immediately 6...d6, to cover this unprotected d6 square.

Ron was explain nicely (7.a3 Bxc3...), I'll just add: I'd rather be white
here :) Black doesn't have strong moves to play after 6.Bb4.

7.a3 Bxc3 8.Nxc3 h6 (else Bg5 with complete domination of d5) 9.Bc4 d6
Black's d5 square is weak, his d6 pawn is without it's usual defender,
and black has to be careful about breaking the position open with Be6
and d5 because white has the bishop pair.
7.Nd6+ and black has a choice between Bxd6 8.Qxd6 Qe7 9.Qxe7 etc (white
is a tempo up on similar positions because of blacks Bb4-d6) or 7...Ke7
8.Nf5+ Kf8 (I assume this is what you meant). Sure, black can push for
d5, but is opening the position really wise here? Black's king is
exposed, and his KR has a hard time getting into the game -- so it's not
at all clear that d5 is in his best interest. Open central files and
bishops wizzing around the open board make for a dangerous center even
if black takes the queens off.
