The best way to do that is having a good read on your opponent. For instance, you have AA and are playing against a aggressive player who tends to 3bet all the time to steal blinds when he feels weakness in other players hand. You never should shove against him. Let he thinks he is dominating the hand and make a min raise. Normally, if he doesn't shove preflop, he will 3bet, and you just call. This game will probably ends in a All In.
Well this is just a exemple, but in fact, all depends the way the villain plays, stacks and position.

The play is definitely read dependent. The main idea is to get villain to bet into the strength of your hand, disguising that he is not in control of the hand. It works best against aggressive players to try and bully the table with 3 bets, re-raises, etc.

Setting a Trap:
I often set a trap for the crazy players that go all in every hand, so I fold about 4 to 5 times, chat with them telling them how scare I am and then when I am sure to have the nuts I call, so they just fall for the trap. It needs a little acting but you need to be careful if is not All in, not to allow a better hand than yours (flush, straight flush), under this probability you need to go All in before the final card that will destroy your trap, may occur.
