Folding is the best way. :) Slow-playing is one of the worse ways.

Realistically, nobody continues in a hand unless they think they have a chance of winning it. If you're going to continue you want a big pay-out, which means betting and raising, not sitting quietly and being deceptive.

Perhaps 3-bet, 5-bet, or just going all-in, in most cases, makes it possible for opponents to understand that you have a strong hand, but it does not guarantee that all opponents will fold :)

If you are playing against players that never fold then it’s not necessary to be deceptive with your strong hands. Bet big and go for max value.

I think you should have a standard habit of raising.... not suddenly raising when you never raise,

not shoving or raising an insane amount, as for post flop play it depends on the players and action,

nothing wrong with a little entrapment lol, nothing wrong with letting people do your betting for you,

nothing wrong with milking people, play depends on how strong your hand actually is,

also depends on the table and your playing history on the table....

Each situation must be assessed individually. If you do not want to demonstrate the strength of your hand, you can not do it, but this is not a guarantee that you will be lucky. How not to demonstrate the strength of the hand? You can not make an all-in or not play aggressively, just call, just check. However, you should remember that such a game can lead to losses :)
