Best openings for White in King of the Hill variant?

Sort:

I'm interested in hearing from players what success they've had with various openings for White. In particular I want to see openings that allow for creating an early King rush and bring pressure on Black to defend the center four squares.

 

Thanks!

I have had good success with the English opening, because it attacks the center but leaves squares open for king advancement.

Petrov's defense seems to usually work for king of the hill.

English Opening sounds good for me too.

Pertrov works but the opponent can counter I think.
