A pool player filming until they run a rack (says it's his 10th day)

OK, I think that a lot of us would have a break and run in ONE day if we are actually breaking and trying to run out, over and over, and only have to do it one time.

But if the goal, as I assume it is, is to say, "I will break and run THIS RACK, and this is my ONLY attempt today," then it could take quite a while (or it randomly could still be done in a day or two).

QUESTION:

ChatGPT (for what that is worth) tells me that a 600 Fargo could break and run 5-10% of the time on a 9-foot table.

For a small wager, would you bet a 600 Fargo would need 10 days or less, or 11 days or more to break and run, when they only have ONE chance per day, and the rack is identified in advance. It CANNOT be ten racks in a row on one day. It must be ONE rack/attempt per day.

I would bet the over. 11 days or more.

Break and run rate is extremely dependent on factors outside of skill. Magic rack, 1 on the spot, fresh cloth, 5" pocket Gold Crown? I'd be surprised if a 600 Fargo had a < 10% BnR rate. Opponent racks on an Olhausen with two year old cloth and pockets poorly triple shimmed to 3.8"? Even Filler isn't getting more than 10% on that.

100% agree.
Do NOTHING to this cue but a light clean up.

I can't tell for sure, but it may have some veneer missing here. Maybe it's a reflection.

This is not normal. I have the same cue (original) and mine are jet black. The bottom shaft doesn't match.

In terms of a refinish, opinions very on this. Personally, I'd refinish as opposed to having it look like that. Plus, sealing a cue protects it.

I have an old Gus with no finish left on it. Every time I see Bary he runs his hands over the points. He said as long as he can't feel the points, he'd recommend leaving it as-is. He said when he starts to feel the points though, it's time to protect the cue.
