If a bar magnet is broke in the middle and pieces are held near why do they repel did the bar magnet pieces flip poles when it broke?

sort of. magnetic fields in a bar magnet always run south to north. if you break it in half, that same S-->N direction still applies. in fact if you were to break it up into smaller & small pieces you would still have that relationship. that is to say, you wouldn't have a north only piece and a south only piece.
