Is there any reason to open limp UTG?

couldn't agree more! Look UTG is not a position you really waht to get in the habit of playing too often. Typically I like to stick to pocket pairs, catch a cheat flop playing for a set. a 55,44,66,etc. is a lot easier to get away from then an AQ or AJ. I've been caught with my hand in the cookie jar too often in EP, with and AQ or AJ once and Ace falls on the flop. Your hardly ever in control of the situation from EP and a smart player realizes that and can keep applying pressure. Thats why pocket pairs that turn into sets (although few and far between) are great from UTG because you can break those players with marginal hands playing them strongly because of there postion.
