I might have to start using that as my standard 3bet size. I used to do something similar at 100NL, which was make it 3x the opener + 1 bb.

Would the cbet be larger than 29 if I 3bet to 20, or are you suggesting 3bet to 20 then cbet 29?

I think I need to examine my bet sizing a little more closely overall, so this is as good a place to start as any.
The difference between 20 and 18 isn't much, but it might persuade someone to make loose calls on you. $12 call looks a lot closer to 5% than $14 call does even though its only 1 BB.

Cbetting 29 into 43 is still pretty decent, once you break that $30 mark it has a psychological effect of being 3/4 pot (if that changes anything). 29 still seems weak (which is good) although 31 wouldn't be bad there either. The main reason to cbet 29 into 39 is you are trying to build the pot in the reraised pot and try to get it in. The $5 difference in this spot adds up to like $20-$30 by the river.
