You dont slowplay the nuts to reduce the money you lose when you get outdarwn.. because you also reduce the money you make when you dont get outdrawn.

The only time to slowplay is when you have the nuts and your opponent is unlikely to have anything so a bet will fold out virtually anything he has whereas a check may incuce a bet.

i.e. you hold AA

board = A26r

You not only hold top set, you also hold blockers to TPGK

there are no draws so the only part of your opponents range that could call is overpairs (JJ-KK) and they wont call more than one bet.

If you check, your opponent may decide to bluff or say the turn is  a Q and he holds QJ he may feel he has the best hand.

you hold 22

board = A26r

If you bet, even though there are no draws, you aren't blocking TPGK.

You dont slowplay because you have a good hand, you slowplay because the board + the cards you hold mean that its very unlikely for your opponent to hold anything he can call with.
