Thanks for the tips Crib sounds good....timing on my expos has been bad recently i usually just go 10/forge and try to wall sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

The best way you should be expanding is getting pylon on 9 - scout, forge on 13, cut probes at 16 and then get your nexus then cannon then gateway. When you're doing it the cannon will feel very late, but don't worry, it can hold any standard pool timings. If you scout a quicker pool, just cannon before nexus, and if you scout 6 pool, then do the pylon +cannon in your main. Here's how I open, I end up losing to a silly strategy but that's okay, the opening is what matters.http://drop.sc/95029

Hey! I'm glad you're getting back into playing! The first question is if you are trying to forge fast expand or are doing a safer gateway expand. If you're forge fast expanding, build a second pylon in your mineral line, and then a cannon. Once you lose your pylon and forge down by your natural, you will still be ahead. If you are doing the gateway style, you should be placing your pylon so that there is just enough room to block your ramp with two gateway sized buildings. There are many different ways to handle it, if you want to be super safe you can wall with a forge and build a single cannon. The more common way is to micro probes against the first six zerglings, either killing them and pulling back weakened probes before they die or running around until the zealot is out to help.
