I just took a look, and as much as I enjoy a good baking analogy, I'm still not sure it puts me any closer to an understanding. With experience comes wisdom...I think that's the best perspective for me at the moment. Thanks @oleg326756

How about this one then? I think it explains the voting process and different strategies in better terms than the baking analogy. :))

Thanks @oleg326756 Apparently I'm more of a boxer than a baker :)
I've done some added research and understand the voting power fairly well at this point. I suppose it was just difficult to invest about $600 usd into SP, write a post that gets 65 votes, and then see the payout at $2.37.

Likely just a matter of timing and the effect of illusory superiority at play :)
