If you get lucky and find more shares - faster than expected - then the pool may put your work difficulty up, assuming your hash rate is higher.
This will mean you'll average less shares of greater value - which is expected to end up the same.

In other words, no matter how "lucky" your miner is, it all ends up the same anyway. Smiley

But a "share" itself is just a way to prove your miner is doing some work, and (in general) has no influence on the block itself, right? So the goal of the "work difficulty" set to each miner is to maintain a balance between the load on the pool (too much shares submitted needs lots of processing power on the pool side in order to handle them) and making sure the miner actually WORKS for you (and not for some other pools at the same time). Am I correct?
