When are cards considered dead?

[oscark]

Poker table with a betting line. When a player puts his cards over the line, is his hand dead? If he puts his cards 50% over the line, is the hand dead? What is the general rule?

Thanks,

Oscar

When they are in the muck and are no longer identifiable they are dead. Local rules may vary.
