Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:

This is good when your friends have lightly guarded expansions that your Zerglings can either quickly destroy their defenses or sneak past them into the worker line.   This is bad vs. heavily defended outposts or when your opponent has map control and you can't get your Zerglings to their expansions. Also, this is particularly bad vs. Planetary Fortresses.

If you are successful continue to scout the map and harass other bases.
