Now I understand that pools are a necessary evil when difficulties get high, but personally I don't like them. For lower diff coins, why does it seem that everyone is dead set on pool mining?
You are basically cutting your profits in half by pool mining when you can solo a low diff coin and actually end up making more.
I guess I just don't understand why I read so many posts saying you need to spend more time pool mining, join a pool, etc etc.
Why would you voluntarily cut your profits in half? Wouldn't you want to maximize your mining time if at all possible?
Am I missing something here?

Can you detail your math or analysis that results in your conclusion "cut your profits in half"?
