Re: floping a set
If you're used to mentally converting between percentages and fractions -- 11.8% is just under 12.5%, so my probability of hitting is just under 1/8 -- then it's not too bad. I need to win a pot that, including my original call (but not my future bets), has over 8 units in it. Practically the same thing.
But for people who find that kind of conversion difficult, there's no reason not to use either the fractional probability or the odds, and convention is to use the odds.
