    I do see one weakness with the Hippo Opening - while it prevents white from making an effective attack against you, you also don't have that much of an opportunity to make an effective attack against white without breaking your defensive structure. White can basically put you in Zugzwang with the right move.

      Cons:
      1.the king or queen pawns can be ruined very easily. After the D6 just E5 and then the queen pawn is already ruined. And the king opening is ez to. after E6 just push D5.
      2.Your rook can be trap very easy. In white just do English opening. After black E6. Then put bishop to B2. There ya go ez rook.

      Don't panic ever! If you are able to get all the moves in, you can start maneuvering your knights around to better squares. I often expand on the king side with g4, put the knight on g3 and then f5, things like that. It depends for each game. You can download the free guide and see some example games in it (Pinned comment!)

    hippo is only good if white doesnt know the refutation, which is to push d4 e4 f4, and then if pawn is already on e6, you go Bd3 and you have to not hesitate and just push f5! which is just completly crushing, if black goes for d6 first instead of e6, you go bc4 and you got even better position. This is the reason why hippo can be good only in hands of really strong players, (IM level or higher) because you have to know how to survive in those modern/pirc type of positions, which you get when you are playing the hippo.
