should I be folding low pairs pre UTG?
Also had a read on this guy being donkey but i feel like regs or random players have me beat here with like T5, T3, 55?

well don't limp at least, raise would be standard.

One problem with limping is exactly these type of spots where you have superb hand but still have to be kinda scared of random nuts like T5 (thus the common guideline: don't go broke in limped pots). However vs random players you are still getting the best of it by aiming for all in here.

In any case, never limp anything.

is this for real?

Yes.There are some tourney situations in which it can be okay but in a cashgame never limp. You might be reading books from 2005, don't do that.

idk about that, eg bvb a ton of regs limp to avoid getting the pot big (basically there are instructional videos out there that teach this style)

fair enough forgot about bvb, but not from any other position

Limping can be ok in ante cash games if folded to you on the sb because of the size of the pot limping > folding

There is also a winning high stakes reg eccentric BG that openlimps EP through the Hijack and minraises buttons. Very unique style but he wins. A strategy involving open limping pre cannot yet be ruled out from the set of game theory optimal strategies.

as a general rule i don't open limp

limping after someone else has limped is pretty standard (with gapped scs and stuff. ofc u can raise as well but u prob dont want to do it every time)
