Quite a few AP Card Counter people on here have admitted they purposely lost money in Blackjack to look like a Ploppy and avoid heat. What is the most money you have lost in attempts to look like a Ploppy and avoud Heat?

Isn't OP referring to a cover play? And haven't AP's noted that they utilize cover plays during heat? ie, not min betting during a bad count, starting off a fresh shoe with a non-min bet, adhering to BS. You could reasonably argue that every time you don't split 10s when the indices call for it, you're purposefully losing money
Norm, should have taken the trade you offered of your membership for reinstatement of a banned member.
No the OP was talking about deliberately losing money because of the fact that she has no idea what the meaning of cover play is as related to blackjack.
Just as you could reasonably argue that you are losing money if you are not allowed to play.
Not minimum betting during a negative count is “not losing on purpose”. You have your spread and you play it. If my spread is $10-$100 and I sit at a $5 table, keep the same spread, I am not deliberately losing money. Deliberately losing money is to place a bet and then stand on a 12 against a 10 when the count is positive. Deliberately losing money is splitting 6’s against a 10. Deliberately losing money is to hit a 16 with your max bet out against a dealer 5.
AP’s don’t do it.
What you're describing are all varying degrees of negative EV, whether it's a small negative EV (playing $10 instead of $5 during negative counts), or a large one (hit a 16 with max bet out against a dealer 5).
What's the EV threshold that demarcates cover play from losing on purpose?
