We got our preconstructed decks last Friday and started playing with them
for fun ... and we quickly discovered one of the most =useless= new
trainers is Gambler.  I can't think of a single reason why someone would
put Gambler in their deck!  Here's what Gambler lets you do:

"Shuffle your hand into your deck.  Flip a coin.  If heads, draw 8 cards.
If tails, draw 1 card."

My son tried using Gambler in his "Lock Down" several times. He only got
heads once out of three tries--the usual trouble with coin tosses!  You
never know what you'll get.  Now good ol' Professor Oak is a sure thing!
You =know= you'll get 7 fresh new cards, so you do the math...Stick with
the Professor!

Other than keeping a few Gamblers for our Pokemon collection, we'll be
training them away as fast as you can say, Pika-Pika!"

Over 'n out!
