Depends on stakes (due to rake) and your skill edge, but facing a 3x open in BB v CO, I fold JTo by default, but call QJo. (As per Snowie at 100NL).
Both hands (and quite a lot worse) would be standard defends vs 2.5x or less.

I suppose that the HU BB defending ranges are curiously narrower than the SB's opening range (despite the pot odds), because with super-wide ranges there are just too many hands that don't realize equity very well OOP.
In BB v CO, you can call pretty wide (30% ish) and still have quite a lot of "nut-making" hands. You can't make the nuts very often if you flat with 60%+.
