I use to play toss, and I'm trying to transition to zerg

Studying hours of gosu replays i find the standard build is

9 Drone Count
Overlord
Pool
Expo Hatch

Then you start choosing your own builds but i always keep getting owned any tips >:O?

An overpool is an aggressive yet safe build.

Look to here for some build orders http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Zerg_Strategy#Specific_Strategies

My fav Zerg FFA build

9 extractor
8 drone
Cancel extractor
10 Hatch (expand)
9 extractor
8 drone
Cancel extractor
10 pool
9 extractor
8 drone
Cancel Extractor
9 Overlord.
After overlord is done save larva for lings.
By the time expansion is done, your pool should be done as well, and you will have 6 lings along to support the expo. Not so hot against rush builds though.

The Zerg mindset is to expand, while also overwhelming the enemy.

Zerg is the hardest race to play imo, best of luck.
