How to play with low pocket pairs

Here it is better to limp or call a small raise, but in the event that a multipot is formed. For example, having 55 on hand, another 5 does not fall out on the flop, it is better to fold, with active trading from opponents, than to hope for a three of a kind in the end. The turn can be seen cheaply, this will be the best solution. And it is best not to raise much in early position with such hands, as there is a possibility of a big loss.
