Just wondering when you stop pumping probes in the MU's like PVT, I think you should do about when you have third expo for awhile? I would,as said above, like to also know PVZ/PVP, And if your good, when do you stop peon pump for a little? I only do it PVT when I get rushed and a little behind but still expoed early. (kinda rush Iguess :0, mostly just a quick push)

many gosus stop pumping probes suddenly without obvious reasons (at least not for me) but I would say that the best thing for someone who is semigood or just an average gamer is to try to pump throughout the entire game since there will be so many times were u are microing or macroing your units and therfore might not be pumping probes at that time, hence you will need the extra probes in lategame when expoing.

depends, think about the benefits of stopping probes, and then think when that would be applicable. Start thinking about bw, and the game elements, as opposed to asking someone, and memorizing the answer. Good example -> 9/10 gate B/O PvZ

8lon
9gate -probe
10gate -probe
first zeal. no probe
13pylon no probe
next 2 zeals no probe
21 pylon no probe
2 zeals gas/probe

lots of people do a b/o like that, so looking back. The only benefit from slowing ur macro down like that, ur 'econ', is that you would have faster zeal production for the specific time being, and make ur rush more successful, relatively of course. Try thinking for urself, does wonders

Man fears the darkness, and so he scrapes away at the edges of it with fire.

In pvp its a good idea to stop pumping probes at a certain point depending on positions. You can usually kill your opponent if he went non-stop probes then expands if you stopped your probe production and massed a little earlier. Then take free expand yourself.

try not too until ur expos have enough (id say 15 at each expo)
unless u got 5+ expos, then u dont have too many. just use common sense

It depends on whether you are able to secure an expansion.

Its good to go non-stop for most of the game though, because not alot of people have the apm to be able to macro/micro and still pump probes constantly from 2-3 expansions mid to late game.

Review one of your reps. You will see that you aren't making probes non-stop.

when you've got 4-5 expansions and 150+ supply, it's safe to stop
