and that's about 6 sessions of about one hour each. obviously not a huge sample size, but you guys can hate rush poker all you want. i don't mind one bit.

i also love the volume of hands i can play in such a short time. played yesterday and today for less than three hours total and logged about 853 hands. let's not forget that some of that time was during happy hour and therefore doubled the points gained.
I'm playing 800-900 hands an hour. I don't mind the volume at all I just wish that I could run somewhere near EV.

^^ this. I can't count the times this has happened to me.
(Actually, I can; I copied/pasted the hand histories, and that .txt file is almost 100 kB now).

I had a memorable situation where I 3-bet pre with AQ, flopped top two-pair, he check-raised the flop, then check-raised the turn, and then checked the river. I checked behind, figuring I'm only going to get called (or check-raised for the 3rd time) if beat... and of course the river gave him his 2-outer small set. I was like "WTF?! Again?!?!"?

Actually, I've saved a LOT of money by checking behind on the river with two-pair and bottom sets where my opponent has hit his hand on the river (either straight or flush or a set) and checked expecting me to fire again. And other times, I've gotten it all-in while ahead and lost to such 2-outers. It's hard to believe that only happens 4.2% of the time, 'cause it seems a lot more like > 50%.

What is your peeps' style for this game? I find being LAG in rush has been paying off, restealing blinds and 3betting lightly to take cash before the flop so far has been working well for me. How often do you guys cold 4bet preflop? Whats your range?

The only weapon you have against variance is hands per hour.. so I would think that over time you'd get to EV faster with Rush than without.
