Much of the time, reflected sound will allow you to hear clearly and a monitor is then not required (not that it can't help, you just don't _need it). I'm personally so used to reflected sound that I find most monitor mixes off putting. Luckily I play alone most often and when I'm playing on a larger stage, I'll have the engineer run my monitor mic to a monitor down the stage. It sounds more natural to me that way. Hard to do when you're playing with others though.
