7.1 Invalid hands (otherwise known as "dead" hands) are those which are no longer legible to win the pot.

The following situations render a hand invalid:

7.2 A player announcing that they are folding.

7.3 A player throwing his hand away toward the much. This applies even if the hand was discarded in jest if it causes other players to believe he has folded.

7.4 A player throwing his hand toward another player.

7.5 Having an illegal hole card (such as a joker or rule card) which should have been noted at the outset (see section 6 - Dealing Errors).

7.6 Exceeding a time limit in a time-restricted game.
