If you have no table selection skill and can't read players it's a good game for you.

I like the fast play i think it's good for different situations and position plays for practice
very different from the standard cash games and no reads makes it hard

playing .05/.1 full ring
yesterday I ran 10 into 30ish in 1/2 hour.
Tonight I killed one $8 buy in (for some reason that was the default) and then ran 8 up to 40 in an hour. BB/100 is 27.27.....
If this keeps up it will be good for my roll but I can't see the fish-in-a-barrel fest lasting too long as their money runs out at a frenetic pace. I enjoy the speed. tonnes of blind stealing.
This could be the death of holdem. 3000 people away from real ring games..... not a whole lot considering the total that play but this is still the first week.

I can imagine the low limits ring games are suffering for sure...but I am loving the rush game..lol...a game of steals and re-steals really. Aggression pays. Between last night and tonight at .25/.50...1446 hands, $370.00 gain. 35 bucks in rake paid...so about 9.50 of that back...Interestingly enough, 3rd best position for me in that run was sb...with 109 gain..and only lost 15 bucks in the big blind overall..says something for re-steals.

Are you just stealing blinds in SB?
.25/.50 means you are playing solid and running well.. wish the blinds were bigger eh?
Ive played 431 hands and am up 5 bucks... so I really have no opinion. LOL 
its just..... meh to me.
If they do 1/2 or 2/4 I'd probably be alot more interested.

do they move you to a new table in the same position (so you don't have to pay the blinds more than once)?

I was looking at some graphs on 2p2. By only 4 tabling for 4 hours people are getting in 4k hands a day which is really good news for rakeback grinders at low limits. Some hand histories are listing people with 600bb effective stacks winning with 88 on 7 hi bards by pushing on the river, etc. Seems like there is quite a bit of money to be made at the lower limits with rush poker.
No HUDs is a great thing for these limits IMO. However, lack of reads seems to take a lot away from the actual "poker" of the game and many are predicting this will just become a nit fest after a couple of weeks. Not that FR micro wasn't already due to rakeback grinders in the first place.

I could play higher..but am comfortable where I am at...and the lightness of hands people under 100bb are willing to stack off with works for me.
We will see with a bigger sample size..tonight when the weekend warriors come out to play...
