In a tournament, every chip matters. Unless the stacks are really, really deep... I am not slowplaying anything but an absolute monster (quads maybe). There's not enough implied value for the risk. If slowplaying increases my risk of losing the hand by even 10%, I would rather bet and just take the pot down.
But that is me. And I still think beginning poker players shouldn't be slowplaying. It's usually a mistake and costs them value.
