The line
Played against West AK87 and East x. We picked this lie because it catches out the most careless plays.
This is one playthrough against one deal. To see what another card would have been worth, or what happens when the king sits the other way, try the explorer. You play all four hands there and see the odds for every card.

The odds are how often this line is sure to take the target against best defence (the card that hurts you most, even where a book would play something else).
An entry is counted each time the lead has to change hands after a trick you won, in either direction. The first lead, and the lead after a trick the defenders won, are free from either hand. You start the suit from wherever you are.
