From the blinds, I will call a small raise, otherwise dump them.

Sparky brought up a good point, if I'm 6-handed with 22/33 UTG I dump them generally. If it's 8-handed, I don't even pause to consider calling. 22/33/44 to me is like being dealt unprinted paper. Limps invite steals and they only improve to sets 1 in 8 times, so you don't have to even limp with them in very early position. I've seen several pros dump 55 utg in 8-handed/9-handed play, too.
