Really you have to determine what the payout system is in the respective pool and also the kh/s for the entire pool. For example, if your pool's payout system is PPS (pay-per-share), then for each block that is solved you will get a %age of the return based upon your share of correct/accepted hashes. If the pool is very tiny and you are attempting to mine an alt-currency with high difficulty, the chances of the pool solving a block are going to be lower - this means that within a short time period, you may not get as much payout as you would from another pool with more hash power. Really, it all comes down to probability and chances of getting a correct block. So a pool with low hashing power doesn't have to be scamming you at all and you will still get a lower payout than from a different pool with higher hashes because the pool with lower hashing power just hasn't solved as many blocks.
