Sure. If you can effectively steal.

I think limping UTG, which is mostly for the baby pairs you want to see a flop with, depends mostly on the quality of the button relative to your UTG. The stickier/better the button, the less I want to open raise with 22 and try to steal the pot on the flop. I still want to see the flop, though. How you play UTG depends sooo much on the relative CO and button players. I have a hard time accepting the "only open raise" mantra when your playing full ring. It does make more sense 6 max, though. Yes, no, I'm full of crap?
