Oh and EDIT*** i use a 4gate version of this which i dont understand why u would use a 3gate unless your planing on a expansion while you attack but the 1 less stalker over the 3 rounds of warp in i use prior to attack is 3 stalkers, which might not sound like alot, but 12 instead of 9 makes a difrence. but im gonna try the 3 gate version with a expo.

4gate pure stalkers requires completely cutting probes and failing a bit on macro doesn't it? This pretty much sounds like something to expand behind, as you can keep him busy and (almost) safely retreat if need be. Transition into a 6 gate w/ storms timing push or something.
I'm a zerg player and I dont feel this to be extremely effective when I've played against it, but they might just be doing it wrong of course. A combo of roach ling and 1-4 crawlers have always been effective for me I think.
