If you have a lot of chips, for example +40 BB, you can open UTG par 66+ focusing on making a set, especially with Low pairs 22, 33, 44, 55 and 66, with these pairs it's great to call a bet and try to make a set on the flop, if you don't hit anything on the flop, don't hesitate to abandon the hand.
The medium pairs that are 77, 88, 99 and 10. should also be focused on looking for the set, but in some flop situations you may be beating your opponent, for example you called a bet from HJ in the SB position with par 10 .
On the flop it opens 258.
In the opponent's range there are possible combinations where you are winning like AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ, QJ and pairs smaller than your 77, 66, 33, 55.
So in this specific situation I like to check-raise, to take away those hands that you're already winning and can lose if you hit one on the turn or river.
