Default Thoughts on CCing 2 more in BB with small PP?

The following scenario is taken from Stox's book:

No reads on either villain.

Villain #1 from UTG-CO who raises, Villain #2 HJ-SB 3-bets, Hero is in BB w/ 88-66.

Stox recommends calling with these, but calling with smaller PP if BTN and SB are more aggressive than usual postflop, while folding 77 and 66 is BTN and SB are less aggressive postflop. The reason for this is in the implied odds to make up for the poor pot odds preflop in flopping a set.

Before this, I had been either capping or folding but this apparently may be a leak. How many of you have been playing in the way Stox recommends, and in general do you feel it has been a winning play for you?
