Pool first has a few advantages. It hard counters proxy 2 rax marine, as well as gives you a good tempo tempo vs the standard reaper expand. Lings are sent on a alternative path to the enemy natural and delay natural at worst and cancels natural at best. Additionally because the reaper is either left at home or return home for defense, you usually can take your 3rd uncontested.
I play a slighty greedier version of the build than some players, where i take my first gas at the same time as i take my 3rd. It's only weakness is to early hellion runbys which can be held by ling/queen/drone micro.
I build 6 lings if the terran doesn't scout and 2 lings if the terran scouts. The 2 lings force the reaper to stay home to protect their natural expo.
