Hotch wasn't trying to discredit the defense attorney by bringing up his gambling addiction. He was demonstrating his skill at profiling by profiling the defense attorney, which happened to include his gambling problems.

* AdHominem: The defense attorney of the episode makes legal arguments about profiling, by pointing out prominent past cases where the profilers were wrong in their deductions. Hotchner then tries to discredit the attorney by publicly revealing that the guy has a gambling addiction. Which is actually irrelevant to either the attorney's arguments, or the trial.

* RousseauWasRight: Played with. The team discusses whether Brian Matlock is inherently innocent thanks to his retrograde amnesia. Morgan argues that he's still a murderer. Brian himself seems to return to his old ways when he regains his memories, but only in that he assaults a police officer, steals her gun, and escapes custody; he genuinely regrets killing those women, and says it feels like someone else did the things he remembers doing.

The problem is that Hotchner doesn't use profiling to learn about the man, he uses ColdReading, a method more associated with fraudulent psychics and scamming conmen than a supposed scientific method.
