How do you know the most +EV play without reads? You need the balanced (game theory optimal) play. In practice the pure GTO play isn't the best because we learn from experience and develop a model of the typical player.
You're taking the weighted average of strategies against a distribution of player types.
For example we categorize the field into 4 player types, A-D with some weighing (40%, 30%, 15%, 15% eg). Over time you develop an intuitive strategy that maximizes EV against the field. You can think of that as the "optimal" strategy, although it deviates from game theory optimal because you are technically doing some exploitable things, but the field won't exploit it enough.
This discussion probably isn't that important because I don't think Rush poker is sustainable unless
1) normal 6-max tables are eliminated
and/or
2) Anonymous screen names
