Hey I tried this in ranked 3 times.
1. try it worked and my opponent quit after seeing lings while trying to chase hydras
2. try it did not work because canons were too close to gateway and forge so i decided to try it with range upgrade
3. try with range upgrade did not work either brcause canons behind the forge could see my hydras

What MMR were you playing at, for context?

I dont remember but i am in e league

I'd like to hear suggestions if you have for me

I guess sniping canons would be a suggestion but then you lose too many hydra and cant attack because of the forge and gateway blocking your way

Really hard to give help without a replay! I suggest you start a new thread and post the replays so you can get constructive feedback. Check out LMaster's stream/beginner Discord as well.

The lair tech doesn't make it any less all in, it actually makes it more all in as he is on less eco... The lair was simply made to throw off the Protoss and try to force a Stargate due to the scouting probe.

This. The lair should not be made in anticipation of hydra busting/rushing. If you can pick off the scout early and they have seen the lair, then they are typically less-inclined to add cannons. It's just a strategy based off of picking off the scout. You can do the same in ZvT with similarly devastating surprise. But you are essentially all-in after you cancel lair. You won't have time to recoup your lost time in the tech tree.
