Are Puts at IPO a solid strategy?

I’m a self-taught investor with several years of conservative options trading (largely profitable).

Seeking guidance - are there rules against buying put options right after an IPO? Many (if not most?) IPOs seem to take a substantial dive shortly after going public.

Can anyone speak to this?
