If you filibuster and the other side gives in that means the filibuster was successful and you have blocked the bill from coming to a vote.

yes, if a filibuster is broken, you only need 51 to pass a bill.

IF YOU filibuster and the OTHER side gives in then the bill is dead. :)
I.e. Democrats filibuster ("You") and the Republicans ("other side") gives up then the bill dies.

the OP uses a dialectical method very similar to that of Mrs. Solomon. ask the opposite of what you mean and then say "you know what i meant". i am an expert in this.

6. If the Repubs filibuster and we give in, then the bill doesn't even come for a vote. |
|
If the Repubs filibuster and then finally one or two "give in," then the bill will come for a vote because we will have 60 or more votes for cloture. Then we only need 51 for the actual vote.
