If you can't beat toss and zerg late game then you need to get to more late game situations so you can improve and be able to win. Avoiding the situation all together allows for no improvement and you are missing out on a significant part of the game. Stupid poker analogy but it applies....if you cant play AA post flop, pushing PF every time you get it might show a bit of profit, but you never actually learn how to play it post flop.
it is rare though to be so even matched or for the game to go so drawish that the late game even occurs and I don't want to purposefully play a long game by defending and macroing or by 1 rax expanding,,,, I think at high levels when both sides are striving to play optimally then there is much more chance of there being long games. I know my problem in long games vs toss, I don't get the 3rd fast enough, I don't utilise ghosts, and I don't have vikings ready to fight collusus... against zerg I don't really have problems and the game rarely goes past me needing more than two base,

It makes no sense at all to work so hard on an opening that you're going to have to ditch soon because it will just stop working.

Edit: Fishnoob, PM me. I'll lend you my smurf sometime so you can play on NA. Earliest I can play is probably 7pm EST tomorrow night though.
I learned this build from watching high level players.... and by succsess I mean it is winning almost every game, the build alone would not win at high levels because E4E5 ect...
