Best Answer

In American pool, break is used to describe the first shot of the game where all of the object balls are racked together and the cue ball 'breaks' them up.

In snooker, a chiefly British game, break is used to describe a series of consecutive pots made by the player. This is similar to what would be called a 'run' in American pool.
