I'm new here to, but from what I've read I think a ploppie is a blackjack player who doesn't follow BS and just plays based on their intuition.

a ploppy is that stupid gambler that plops his/her a** down at your table when the count is high and starts eating up your good cards. They are strong worshipers of "the sacred flow of the cards" and like to chew out those you attempt to disrupt this magical flow. Theres much more to these ploppies and im sure some of us could go on forever about them but thats what i think of when i think of a ploppy.

Default It takes a little extra to be a ploppy

Trying to be nice, most people are horrible players and the general definition of ploppy would include them. Considering the term to be extremely negative, I often will not consider that horrible player a ploppy till that player has declared himself God's prophet of blackjack chosen to spread the word to the rest of us.
He is that guy who knows nothing about playing blackjack but will let you and anyone else know it when you do not play his way. He is the guy who loses almost every trip to the casino but it is never because he plays so badly, it is because of you, me or someone else who disrupted the Mystical Magical Sacred Flow of the All Knowing Cards.
