Haha, this is funny. Good job man, grats!

Still, this is a horrible thing to do if you want to become an actual good player. Might work on ladder, but if you start playing in tournaments people will soon adopt a defensive attitude when playing against ya, and then all those hours doing 6 pools will be wasted. But as long as you don't care about that shit, go for it.

Exactly! Players knows that you can pull of a good 6 pool and play more defensively and not that greedy - that's best thing when you are playing in tournaments.

ya, he is even only cheesing when offracing...
played him twice on the metalopolis-koth-obs-map and first game he 6gated me with all his workers and 2nd game he 2raxed me and went on to go for some 6rax+stim rush+all workers rush. I held both and he started BMing me that I'm a cheater and couldn't know what he was doing and I'm dumb because I made spinecrawlers and I should stop abusing maphacks and teamspeak and whatever... It's his "style". He cheeses you and if it fails he BMs you.
Just keep your cool with him, learn what you can/want from this guide (which is to scout early enough, even against zerg) and forget about him, because there is nothing you can learn from him when you want to have fun or improve your skill.

Exactly! Players knows that you can pull of a good 6 pool and play more defensively and not that greedy - that's best thing when you are playing in tournaments.

And then it will go into a standard game, in which the 6 pool guy will have a fuckton of less experience.

You don't need to spend a vast majority of your playing time on it to achieve what you're talking about. Jaedong mixes in 4/5-pools from time to time, especially in BoXs, and is a master of mindgames. You don't know what he's going to throw at you (unless you're Flash). But I guarantee you that he doesn't spend more than a 0.1 % of his practise time doing them. It's just a waste of time if you wanna be a good player in general.

This should be taken for what it is; a fun thing, and an interesting experiment.

Then you're assuming that he go developed macro. But yeah, I see your point. Imagine if Idra had this 6 pool skill and used it from time to time. He would be 10 times more scarier!

OP is just an example that 6 pool can be viable strategy if executed correctly, noone says you need to do 6 pool ALL THE TIME. Thing is you can learn how to execute 6 pool well so if you are good player, you can do this strategy from time to time and when you do it you know what you are doing, and chances that you win that one game in the tournament are better if you have practiced 6 pool before and know all little timings you need to know.

Indeed. I was not referring to throwing in cheesy stuff every now and then as mindgames in BoXs in my initial post. I do agree that it's a useful talent toi have, as a Flash-fan I have a lot of appreciation for it. I was referring to basing your entire playstyle around it.
