In nl cash. I always limp with a small  pocket pair. As has been mentioned, the no set, no bet thinking tends to be used the most.
However, particularly in the low limits, players fall in love with their Ax or their 2 pictures. If you hit a set, you get paid off very well.

Also if the flop comes low, these same players makes their continuation bets with overcards. Your pair then becomes a favourite over these players who cant put them down when they haven't hit.

Usually observing how they play. In nl cash at the low levels you often get to a river showdown. Rather than looking at what a player has relative to the board, I concentrate on what hole cards they had come into the hand with. Usually only takes 2/3 rounds before you know which players like their ace rag, or their picture cards.
I find that at the low levels, a lot of players want action, and don't take any notice of what you might have.

The other reason limping is preferable is so you can disguise your hand when you have AA and KK. If players know you limp in early position with small pairs and suit connectors you may pick up a raise or even re-raise with AA and KK pre - flop (if you have initially limped).

I never raise in seat 1 or 2 (this is asking to get busted by a speculative late poistion caller), , but limping in early position is a strong play as long as you never pass if raised, that is weak.

Basically, you can limp in any position as long as you limp with big hands aswell.

I also pass small pairs in SB or BB in a heads-up pot v late position raisor, call versus a big hand (UTG / seat 2 raise) for implied odds. There are not usually any implied odds calling with 66 v a button raise.

Small pairs are drawing hands, keep the pot small as poss until you hit. plus you want SB and BB in pot so they can hit 2 pair v your set.

I also would consider any pair less than QQ a SMALL PAIR in cash games, unless you hit a set with JJ you are going to lose some big pots committing your chips on low flops v sets and 2 pair etc.
