Dealing with supply block as zerg

Question

So pretty basic question but how do you guys avoid getting supply blocked? Do you have a rule of thumb where you build X overlords at a time or something?

I don't get supply blocked too regularly but it happens often enough that I feel I need to fix my problem.

Answer

I normally build my overlord when I have 4 or less supply left.

My starting BO involves:

• 9 Ovi
• 16 Ovi
• 22 Ovi
• <4 Supply left.

I think this really helps.

Additionally if Larva have popped from one of my Hatcheries, I usually spend 1 on an Overlord if I'm going to use the other 6 on units.

Hope this helps.
