Can I call, or raise here instead of folding?

SB: $1.64 (32.8 bb)
BB: $2.81 (56.2 bb)
UTG: $2.75 (55 bb)
MP: $2.44 (48.8 bb)
Hero (CO): $6.07 (121.4 bb)
BTN: $9.59 (191.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, 2 folds, BB raises to $0.60, 2 folds

Results: $0.32 pot
BB mucked and won $0.32 ($0.22 net)

Villain is an unknown - I have 4 hands on him and, for what its worth, he's playing 75/50.

I suppose the other question I should be asking - was it ok to call open [minimum] raiser instead of raising? He is also an unknown - 4 hands history, and for what its worth, playing 50/50

I would 3b here, cause if I were BB I squeeze here a huge part of my hands. As played I would fold here too.

Did not noticed that BB is mid stack, still I am 3 betting here.. as played still fold, I don't think you can defend here with AJ.

I wouldn't 3bet. If we get called we are often behind with AJo. As played I would fold too.

In this particular situation we can 3 bet as a bluff and fold vs further aggression. Thus we stop any active squeezer ftom behind.
If you are not comfortable with that - just fold then.
As played fold is right.

MP is likely a weaker player, iso 3bet is fine ( vs. weakor op. it's definitly not a bluff :P ).
As played, it's an easy fold - you don't have to defend this + this 6x sqz is usually very strong.
