Good to see you managed to stick it out at 25nl and make some $, I just moved up, and I managed to run really good for the move which makes a huge difference to your psych, and keeps you in control I think. You're far less likely to level yourself and play scared if you can start out with even just a small win.
On the 3 bet bluffs, and baring in mind I'm not really qualified to give advice. The 2 main spots I look for are blind defence, when I can see from position stats that the CO/BTN are opening wide for the steal, and as the BTN or sometimes CO when there is an MP raise from a nitty player - though not too nitty as some of these seem to be opening nothing but premiums.
fold to 3bet is obviously always a factor.
Basically, I either want to be sure that villain is opening wide enough that there's no way their hand can take any heat. Or I want to have position on a player that knows how to fold. The cards I hold are usually pretty irrelevant to my descision, or to put it better, my decision is FAR more weighted toward the players and my position, but ofcourse its better to have blockers. I make up my mind about how wide I'm willing to stretch my range to do this based on the players usually.
For example, if I'm considering a 3bet bluff from LP, I will do this much wider if the blinds are out of control nits (5/2 kind of stats).
I still don't do this all that often though, given that my 3bet % hasn't pushed much higher than 5.
I've also noticed that with certain players, their blind steal bet sizing is a big tell.. I've run into a few guys that will blind steal really, like REALLY wide and raise to 2.5bb, but raise their playable hands to 3-4bb. I've been 3betting out of the blinds in that situation pretty much 100% and my resteal success rate there would be close to 100% too.
