I think the answer is that barring a really really terrible player read online you need to just make a value bet and accept that you're not going to win a big pot without building one up first. Your best hope is to draw a bluff raise (almost never happens) or get someone to make a river raise with something slow played (Backwards Aces, set, rivered second best.) Once raised, then you can consider an over-the-top-re-raise.

That being said, if you're playing a funny laggy game that makes over-bets routinely into small pots you might actually get a call. For the more TAggy sorts, I just don't think it's gonna happen.

This is exactly why I like to bet into nothing pots online if I have 4+ outs to the nuts.
