So, lost a game today fairly early. I had absolutely nothing (AJ over cards in the SB)  on a low flop with 2 cards of the same suit), but was distracted typing something else. So I shoved back on a flop against a member who bet into me and who had been clearly overplaying and/or bluffing a lot previously during the game.

Since he was initially stealing (3.5X) with 2 low suited cards (64s), I guess the appropriate strategy would have been to shove back against the steal pre-flop (which other folks do to me all the time). I say that to myself a lot , i.e., that I should start shoving a lot out of the blue like I see others doing. I kind of did that today but waited till the flop at which point he actually had a hand. So he made middle pair with a flush draw. Neither of our hands improved and he won. ** Of note - I see lots of people play AJ over-cards all-in from the flop al the time. I just rarely do it myself.

I wouldn't call that a loss since I play with that member a lot and now I know for sure that he steals with very weak cards, and how far he's willing to go and with what type of hand.In some ways playing to lose is a good strategy as you gain useful insight. And it was 'just' a freeroll.
