Does a card's discard bonus trigger when you play that card, and what counts as a discard?
Several players agree that playing a card is not discarding it; there is no single official ruling on every case.

No. Playing a card for its effect, in poker, a fight or as an action, is not a discard, so Instincts' bonus does not trigger. A discard is removing a card from hand unused, as when the Man in Black, a bandit or a goal card makes you discard, and those do trigger it.
