I once made the 8ball off the break play on a rubbish pub table. it was a really weird situation as well. the 8 ball came out of the pack after the cue ball hit and went straight in to the bulk side pocket (not hitting any rails and going dead centre in to the pocket.)
2 days ago i had my first runout 8ball against my dad,was really sweet,he's been smoking my a$$ for 3 years(18 now)and now im a little comepitition for him.
8 ball for me, and I'm guessing unless you started on 9 ball near exclusively it will be 8 ball for most people - so much less skill required to clear a table.

the skill needed to runout in 8ball is far lesser than the one needed to runout in 9ball
First break and run was in 8 ball. I ended it up running out twice in a row, as part of an APA match. A the time, I was in total shock. I tried to pretend "no big deal" but, my teammates were having none of that.
Coincidentlaly, my first 8 on the break also ended up with my sinking it for the win, twice in a row, in the finals of an APA regional tournament. Was quite the pleasant surprise at the time and my opponent, rather than congratulating me, didn't speak to me for years after. Rofl.

I've played probably about an even amount of 8 and 9 (maybe a little more 8) but have had 2 run outs in 9 and have yet to run out in 8. I've had several racks that SHOULD have been run outs in 8 but I blew them thinking about the run out.
finally first real run out directly after break in 8ball yesterday. had a run out once before after opponents break (but for me that's not really a real runout). far away from a 9ball run out (but i also play a lot less 9ball). and no, unfortunately i can't call myself a half decent player yet
I made my first run out in 8-ball 15 years ago. I'm an amateur but when I'm in top shape (it happened only once), I can run out 5 games of 9-ball in a row.
I almost made a run out in snooker (119). I missed my position on the blue and was so frustrated... With studies and work, I stopped playing.
Most peoples first run (Im guessing) would be 8ball just bc the game is more popular. My first run out was in 8ball but that was so long ago who can really remember
