imo, I'm likely to 3bet against HJ in this spot. There's nothing wrong with having an image of 3betting light, it might actually be advantageous to you because either your opponent will tighten up or will call lighter/4bet lighter.
Calling pre puts us in a ton of awkward spots later. For example, what happens if the BTN calls and the flop is QJx rainbow? Are we willing to call HJ's cbet with the BTN still to act? Are we willing to call a turn bet if we don't improve? What if the flop comes Jxx rainbow? Are we willing to call 3 streets with TPGK against HJ's bets?
Calling let's the other players behind us know our range kind of sucks and makes us a target for a squeeze too. You're in position against a blind 3bet but what happens next time when the BTN 3bets you? Are you going to call OOP with a weakish suited broadway in a similar situation? Again, if the flop comes Jxx rainbow, how many streets are you willing to go in a situation where you're 3bet by the blinds?
Because of this, I don't really like calling ever in the CO in general
