Slowplaying is very difficult to do correctly.
The thing you want to do when you flop a monster is to keep out the hands that can beat you.
For example, if you flop a straight with two of the cards out there being of the same suit, you want to be enough to get the flush draws out, but keep those with one or two pair in.
If you flop a low three of a kind, you might want to consider buying the pot right there. I've seen people being beat on bigger full houses because they tried slow playing a set.
The exception is if you have a hand like bullets and the flop comes 3-A-3. On a hand like this you will most likely get the most money by checking all the way through hoping they get a hand and then betting a decent amount on the river.
Four-of-a-kind is the hardest hand to play in my opinion, because you're trying to figure out how to keep your opponent in the pot for the most amount of money.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
