Ok, just started on Full Tilt and playing Rush poker. I wanted to get opinions on the best strategy for this game. Obviously with the number of hand per hour played it seems that it is best just to wait for the best hands. I am assuming this is the case because it is easier for people to be patient and wait for better hands to play.

How tight should I play? just AA , KK , QQ , and AK? maybe JJ, AQ??
AJ, KQs in position?

The other thing I noticed is that it seems very easy to steal blinds making only a min raise. Is this a wise idea? Would it be profitable enough to steal enough blinds and then lay down to any re-raise?

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Fold AA it is no good in rush:(
I am just bitter because I have had them cracked 3 times this week in rush.

The starting range you have is in line with what I have read. Also add to this

Raise with any PP in any position if opening the pot to set mine. Call any re raise with KK and AA (obviously) I say get it all in with KK and AA but be aware that you were get callers like A8suited with your KK and from my bad luck I have lost a lot like this

The best way to adjust to rush is not to adjust at all to the fact it's rush but to adjust to the other players instead.

Also, OP, what you describe is a preflop hand chart. It's totally different from a "strategy". If you don't know the difference, adjusting to a specific type of game is the least of your problems.

Fold to get premium hands or you can play more loose with suited connectors when you are in mid to late position when the pot is is cheap.

This seems to work for me.
