First... OUCH, that's a hefty electric bill.
Second, do you know what your expected payout was exactly at the time the block was found? As others have stated, your expected payout is based completely upon how many shares you currently have in the share chain. It is very possible that you found fewer than expected shares prior to the block being found, then found more than expected shares since. With only a total of 24 hours of mining on p2pool, you're not at your full potential yet. The share chain takes into account the previous 8640 shares (about 3 days) when making payouts.
As windpath noted, and I can confirm, the expected payouts are pretty much spot on compared to actuals when the block is found.
Yea Ouch I know. On ghash was bringing in around 90.00 a day sometimes it would hit 115.00. all the others a little less.
But here I got 23.00 ..... I am moving up the list it says my payout is .0858812, noticed I am getting higher on this list every few hours.
Thanks for your inputs... I will try for a few more days and see the outcome.
I hate to give my hash to ghash as I dont like their attitudes especially when it it hit 51%
BUT at this point I have to be where the most $$$$ is at.
I will be lucky to stay profitable for another month and 1/2 I think......
I made my investment and I pay the electric and am still up 1500 a month so so far ok
BUT .........
Once again thanks for everyone's
info as it all helps!

One more thing - if you're running Antminer S2, you're losing about 10-15% of your hashing on p2pool. It's a known issue, and hopefully one that will be corrected (either by Bitmain directly, by one of the cgminer developers, or the p2pool developer).
That payout value will continue to rise until 8640 shares have been put on the share chain since you started on the pool. From there it will remain pretty much normalized at that level. Remember, too, that this is a PPLNS system. You could shut down your miners now and still get paid (assuming you still have valid shares on the chain when the next block is found).
Finally, p2pool will be considerably more variant than where you were mining. There will be times when no blocks are found for a few days, but then 4 will be found in a day. For a great comparison of payouts of p2pool vs BTCGuild vs Eligius, check out this thread:
