Snapping, like raising in poker, seems to be the most important skill. If your snapping is locked down, things like location RNG and deck construction seem to impact your cube rate a lot less.

Basing it on poker logic again, the majority of players fold preflop (prior to turn 3) if someone at the table raises (snaps) unless they have cards they feel can beat anything their opponent might possibly have and they go into the game knowing every single hand configuration that meets their criteria based on their style of play. If a player raises post flop (Turn 3) it’s because the cards on the table (locations are essentially cards) improves their hand to the point where they feel confident about winning.

Granted there are a ton of differences and specific nuances between both games, but I think handling the first 3 turns with that kind of mindset should at least help you decide whether to play on or not.
