What is the strategy to create big pots to be invloved in when you have good holdings. Small pots suck!

Pump up the pot preflop with hands that can hit a flop really hard. Especially in position.
I really like raising mid-to-high double pair hands (eg QQTT), 3 card rundown+suited ace (eg As6s78) and high card rundowns (eg 9TJQ). With these types of hands you will either whiff the flop completely, or be sitting with a great hand or great draw.
An example is a flop with any cards between 8 and Queen with the 9TJQ hand. No matter which 3 cards land in that range, you will have a very strong hand/draw.
The other way that big (and winnable) pots come up is when you raise a more "raggy" (low/middle cards) hand and get re-raised preflop (by a very likely AAxx). If the preflop raisor typically makes a pot-sized continuation bet on most flops, you will often be able to win a big pot when you hit a favorable flop.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

remember being paid off is not as of right.
you should at least min-raise almost every hand you play. A bigger raise if the situation demands, and a call if the pot has already been raised or you're in SB and limp.
bet a lot of hands. semi bluff and semi bluff raise a lot.
