Silver Level
The general rule is that if your cards are not over the line then you have not folded, but there are times that the dealer will grab your cards anyways after you have called and throw them into the muck. It happened to me once when I was in the seat next to the dealer. The dealer called for a ruling and the floor manager said that the cards should stay in the muck because I am required to protect my cards. I have a 1922 peace silver dollar that is covered in plastic so the dealer won't misinterpret the coin as a tip. The last time that I played I forgot to bring the card protector, but I thought it would be okay because I was sitting in seat 5 in the middle of the table. I called with K7o in a multiway pot but the dealer reached across the table and mucked my cards. The flop was of course K77.
