Cram-O-Matic discard happens instantly if there is only 1 other Item card in hand

This is a good feature with cards like Quick Ball and Ultra Ball, but not so much with Cram-O-Matic. Because of this behaviour, your opponent can know that you have more than 1 Item card in your hand if you take more than a moment to choose which card you want to discard.

    Update - this also happens when your only options for selection are multiples of the same card. (For example, playing Quick Ball when your hand has 3 Professor's Research and nothing else in it leads to an instant discard.)
