Seriously though.. Gtowizard is the nuts and well worth the cost of the sub
This guy is clearly a complete beginner and you are trying to sell him a self-directed gto-based training product. This is not good advice.
OP, you should basically never be coldcalling 3bets as a standard unless you have some very special reason to do so. Playing 4b/f is a simpler and theoretically stronger approach. When it gets raised and 3b in front of you, you should just be folding most of your suited connector and medium strength pocket pair type hands.
The 3bettor is already representing a reasonably strong range, the opener is completely uncapped (could still have very strong hands like QQ+, AK), and we are just gonna take a weak range to the flop. You suggested flatting some strong hands as a way to counteract this, but generally speaking your strongest hands like QQ+ want to 4b themselves and build bigger pots.
The one thing about gtowizard I would actually recommend - they have pretty good preflop ranges for cash and mtts at different depths that are
completely free. Look at what the ranges are for the players behind an opener and 3bettor, even on the button - you will see very little if any coldcalling, ever.
