When is it a good time to build and slow down a pot? To build it I can think of a few reasons: You have a strong hand, you have a decent draw with fold equity, and you want to get as much money in as possible in later streets if you hit. What am I missing here?

I think the tough one for me is how and when to slow it down, I can think of a few factors to consider:

-The nature of your hand
-Your position (being OOP against laggs and getting smooth called, especially)
-The number/type of opponents in the hand
-Your table image
-Your reads and what you think they think you have, if they’re above average players
-The board
-???

So, anyone have examples or insights? Thanks.
