i think to answer the question is to know what level player can run 10 ( i assume upper pro)
how often does it happen
and then you can ask the same question for 9 ball
what level player runs a 5 pack
how often does it happen
just sayin

The slate bed of a carom billiard table must have a minimum thickness of 45 millimeters and is often heated to about 5 degrees C (9 deg F) above room temperature, which helps to keep moisture out of the cloth to aid the balls rolling and rebounding in a consistent manner, and generally makes a table play faster. A heated table is required under international carom rules and is an especially important requirement for the games of three-cushion billiards and artistic billiards.[1]:115, 238

neat thanks
never heard a mention of it keeping the moisture off the cloth, or aiding to
