what would you think the break and run percent is for a pro on a bar table? 9 ball and 10 ball.

A race to 10, 30-50 percent sounds about "Avg". but can be much higher or lower depending on the table.
 
A lot of it depends on whether balls are tied up after the break. yes, many top players manage to break them out, but it can be difficult
 
Also depends on if they are using magic rack or not. In 9 ball with the magic rack, their % would probably be above 50% with all the packages. In 10 ball it's going to be significantly lower, with or without the magic rack.
 
At the USBTC...

I doubled out at the USBTC in tenball, both matches went hill-hill and I had 3 BNR's in both matches for a BNR% of 50....for the six breaks I had in each match.

Don't know if that helps to answer your question or not.
 
They often show the stats for break and runs during the 9 ball US Open. Let's assume that 90+ % of the players that compete are A or better. In the last open the average for all players was in the low to mid 20's on a 9' table.
 
I think the better question would be, when a ball is pocketed on the break, what is the break and run percentage? A professionals break and run percentage on a typical bar box, with worn slow cloth, dirty and mis sized balls using a standard triangle rack is going to be lower than on a tournament quality table with new balls using a magic rack.
