Slow playing can be good in the right situation ... slow playing top pair is for idiots, however if you flop the nuts, its not a bad play.
For example, one time I was playing in a no-limit tourney and I had A5 in the big blind, everyone folds except the guy to my left. Flop comes AA5 with two spades. This is good for slow play because you want someone to make thie flush which you will beat with your full house. So I check, he checks, turn comes and its blank, river comes and its a spade. I bet the minimum (just so I can get some moeny out of him) then he comes over the top with an all-in. I call right away and sure enough he has the K of spades and another spade for the nut flush. He wasn't too happy when he saw my boat.
If I had made a big bet on the flop, he likely would have folded, so the slow play worked for me there.
