In theory, Matt is right.  In practice, going into a mean nasty cloud by 
myself for the first time in my Cessna 150 scared the crap out of me.  In 
fact, had I not done it before with an instructor, I probably would have 
turned around.  Such was not the case for the benign marine layers we have in 
California, which was pretty ho-hum and actually rather fun, where I felt the 
hood time was perfectly adequate training.

Actually, my instructor told me that if I ever got scared in IMC I should 
just put on my hood, which would make it all familiar.  My airport buddies 
laughed at this...  (and no, I didn't do it...)
