Pool mining allows you to plan your ROI better. The price of course is the cut you pay.

If you are pool mining with 0% pool fee, the expected amount of bitcoin you can get is the same as solo mining, but the variance would be much lower.

With solo mining with your 20 TH/s, you may be able to get a block in the first week if you are lucky, or you may not be able to get any block for months if you are unlucky.

I have used some of the calculators and read a lot of posts but wanted a little feedback since I am still trying to digest a lot of the info.  I have been mining for about a month and have about 12 Th/s mining BTC and 300 mh/s scrypt.  Those numbers will be 20 Th/s and 600 mh/s within about 4-6 days (waiting on a few more miners to get here).   I am looking for opinions and advice on Solo Mining vs Pool Mining with my set up.  Thanks in advance...keith
