Growing a pot

To grow a big pot, you must water it and carefully tend to it like a precious flower. You can't try to grow it all at once, especially when you're sure you have the best hand. The best situation to be in is to flop a super strong hand, and have someone else in the hand who believes he has a strong hand and starts the betting. You can then just double their bets as long as they'll let you! A lot of players like to have the last word in a betting round, and therefore they'll keep reraising your reraises, as long as you keep your reraises to the minimum allowable.

I was in this situation last night; here's how the hand played out:
