What's your actual hard rule for skipping an earnings print?

Mine, currently:

1. nothing where the implied move is under 5%, isn't enough premium in it to be paid for the tail
2. nothing where the bid/ask on the straddle is more than about 8% of its mid, because the edge is thinner than the spread
3. no defined-risk earnings play where max loss is more than one normal winning day

What's yours?
