Larger pools DO NOT give you more profit. You'll earn exactly 0.4% less over time on dwarf pool.

Learn how mining works.

Yes, Dwarfpool WILL give you more profit than that tiny pool over time.  Perhaps you have some learning to do yourself.

In theory if pool fees are identical then profits will be identical also.

Depends what your goal is. To me,  I typically want to get paid as soon as possible. XMR (and other alt coins) have been bouncing around a LOT in value. Not only can you get really unlucky when on a small pool (look at their stats), but you can also get paid when the XMR (or other alt) price is in the ditch (and most of the alts have been trending downward drastically).

I mine and sell to keep everything in BTC. Therefore I want to get paid often and even out the (un)luck factor. If i was going to mine and keep, I would choose whatever pool had the best/lowest fees.

Is my logic incorrect?
