So if you go 15 hatch and someone does a 6 pool and brings all their drones is there a way to hold (assuming you canceled hatch right away and made a pool) or can you just leave right away?

I dont get it at all.

For me it's hard to attack with my drones, because i need to attack just one enemy because they are passive units...so i will always lost a lot of drones trying to kill one ling at a time.

You need to "attack move".
Do that by pressing "A" and then left click on the ground in the general direction of your enemy. Your drones will attack anything between them and the point you clicked.

For grid or custom keysetups the attack key might be different.

This is why I generally like doing 11 pool 18 hatch in ZvZ, as you get a pool early enough that if you scout their early pool you just put a spine crawler in your minerals and instantly win.

14/14 is pretty safe vs early pools. With good drone micro, as demonstrated in this guide, you can effectively stop any early ling aggression and still get your pool up in time to defend additional attacks - all while being nicely ahead.
Slightly safer still is a 13pool build into roaches, I believe its destiny's ZvZ build that he claimed was unbeatable. It offers you good protection from really early ling pushes but also gets roaches out early to stop any bling play and can be followed up with either a strong roach/ling push or by taking the expo as normal. Either way, an early pool build will suffer.
