Think different. Don't follow the crowd. Be true to yourself. 4pool.
Hey there you fucking idiots, this is a fucking guide on how to do a special build that was invented by YellOw while he was fucking your mom. Befoer beginning this guide, I need to do little tiny disclaimer: I am a fucking expert in StarCraft and am really REALLY fucking good at the game and I win so much that it is ridiculous, so don't expect to pull this strat off as well as I do because you just fucking can't until your eapm is around 168 or higher. The purpose of this guide is to show you a unique and shitty strategy that cannot be countered if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, then you will just have to spend the rest of your life in Ireland looking for 4-leaf clover, while avoiding drunk lads who want to bash ya fuckin' 'ed in.
History:
A long time ago, the spawning pool used to cost 150 minerals instead of 200 minerals so you could literally make a literal amount of literal zerglings before ur opponent could fukken make enough marines or whatever and the game was basically a load of fuck, but then some noobies complained on the forums so blizzzard nerfed zerg because it was too stronk. Later on, zerglings became popular again, thanks to Polish players and later, South Americans.
How Legit Is This Strat?
Thanx for asking, and let me answer this way: JAEDONG BEAT FLASH WITH IT. rmbr that? I bet u don't cuz you're a sc2 fanboi who probably lives in ur mom's basement and she sincerely appreciates your company and loves you cuz you're part of the family and you make regular financial contributions to your family, but still, we will shame you with this because of reasons that may be related to giraffes.
Build Order?
There is considerable debate within the Brood War community about the specifics and dynamics of the opening build order, primarily because there are so many individual variables at work, so the timings are kind of arbitrary. Try not to think of this build as 'set in stone', but more as a framework for your overall strategy. Whenever you being executing a build order, it should always be used to advance your objectives towards an overall victory, but more importantly, should be a guiding component in a larger game plan.
As Zerg, you start with a population of 4/9, which is 4 drones and 1 overlord. In many other build orders, you want to immediately start morphing your larvae into a drone at the onset of the game, but in build orders like 4pool and 4hatch, you will want to forgo this morph to save minerals. Do not build the initial drone or your build order will be mistimed and you will inevitably lose the game.
Build:
4/9 - Spawning Pool 3/9 - Drone Spawning Pool finishes - Make Zerglings 7/9 - Make more Zerglings 8/9 - Make more Zerglings 9/9 - Micro your lings
As I've said before, these build times are kind of generalized, but the above order of operations has worked for me personally. I've had many arguments with my peers about the necessity of the 3/9 drone, some of which have ended years-long friendships because of how heated our debates became. My advice to you is to try it with drone and then with no drone and tell me what works, my way, or my dumbass friends' way.
This build often works because your opponents will attempt to make a lot of units, which will require them to expand as soon as possible, and they won't even make a defensive cannon at their ramp before expanding like a bunch of nerds. If you get scouted, just call your opponent a hacker and leave the game. They will probably deny hacking, but you have to stick to your guns and never admit you were wrong. Have an hour-long whisper war if you have to. + Show Spoiler +

It's all part of the real reason this build works: they have to assume you're going with not-4pool. If they see you're going 4pool, then they will counter you with stuff and also, things. This requires a good deal of guess-work on your part, but if you send your overlord out, you can rule out at least one enemy base and then just have to pick one of the remaining two and commit everything to attacking it. If nothing is there, where you attack, then you're probably going to lose unless your opponent is made of derp. If you find them on first try, then rally your single hatchery to their base and keep sending more lings. Keep killing stuff and attacking workers until they leave.

also, the 3/9 drone is super important. you can also make a drone and cancel it right at the start for maximum swag. this guide is however, very complete and an excellent post!

I don't think you should do that because abortion is murder. #ZergLivesMatter

The reason he made a creep is because he was an Ethan.
4 pool bots are doing surprisingly well in the SSCAI bot tournament (a 5 pool bot is currently 9th out of 42 bots) . So in AI vs AI this strat is also legit.

Man, if I didn't make the shoutout list considering some of the people on it, I should be pretty embarrassed.
I'm sorry, I should've shouted you out, but I had sooooo many people to remember
nina, you forgot to shoutout to menace_man. You probably want to add him to the list because he will read the blog soon and be very angry and yell "asdfpoh8h98h" at you if he notices you didnt give him a shoutout.
He is also the innovator of such builds as 1 Hatch Hive zvt and 1 base 5 gate zealot pvp and I know you were inspired by him along the way.

I have no respect for him and if he wants to start talking shit, I will dismantle his soul piece by piece, but he isn't going to step the fuck up because he's a bitch. I will make him retire from the internet forever when I'm through with him. He don't want none. What.

4 Pool in SC2 is 6 Pool then two Drones build Extractors to free up supply for more Zerglings and less mineral income hence less of a need to focus on macro as you won't float minerals.
God stop pedaling your outdated scrubs builds, 4p simply isn't viable in today's macro oriented map pool. If you're not a complete fucking scrub idiot moron, you'll opt for the much stronger macro oriented 5 pool. It takes some mechanics to pull off so if you're trying to jerk off and simultaneously lose games stick to nina dinosaur build.
Guide to 5 pool: 1. Select all your drones and send them to the closest patch, then try and split them but fuck up miserably and delay mining. 2. Build a fifth drone. 3. Jaedong micro's his drones somehow to make them mine faster, no one knows how he does this but click spastically on your drones and pretend you're helping and not further delaying mining. 4. Group your larva to an overlord to make them move to the same of the hatch. Not that this matters but it is fucking sweet and everyone will know you're a baller with a huge dick. 5. Build the spawning pool adjacent to your hatch so you can drone drill which will definitely be relevant and win you games at some point in your life. Make sure your first attempt is blocked by larva further delaying your build. 6. Build zerglings or "lings", be sure to extractor trick. 7. Listen to your heart, leave your body and watch yourself from afar. 8. Leverage your superior 5 drone economy for the ez victory
4/9 - Spawning Pool 3/9 - Drone Spawning Pool finishes - Make Zerglings 7/9 - Make more Zerglings 8/9 - Make more Zerglings 9/9 - Press enter, then "from ?" then enter 9/9 - Micro your lings
Also if one day you decide to follow a player in SC2. try to find "ActionJesuz" run at Dreamhack. He used your build.... for each match.
