Bet it like u would c-bet. Hope they have something or want to try to take it away.
Slowplaying without a good reason has many drawbacks:
-failing to get more money into the pot (if he doesnt have anything, it'll be hard to get much out of villain, if he does, you may give him extra outs and fail to create a big pot)
-giving hands you have dominated a free card (even on an apparently drawless board there may be gutshots, 2outers, 1outers...)
-being transparent if not balanced well (c-betting when missed, sloplaying monsters is an easy to recognise pattern)
good reasons to sloplay:
-villain is aggro and habitual bluffer
-hand is so strong (ie 4of a kind, str8 flush) that givin free cards will not cost us
-on a drawy board, villain may make a powerful 2nd best hand (ie flopped FH on drawy flushy board). Still, in this case, many times its best to bet a small amount, as villain will likely pay with good odds to draw, since he probably wont realize he is drawing dead.
Most of the time, villain will fold if he doesnt have anything and you bet, but thats ok, if he didnt have anything, it was gonna be hard to get value. You want to bet so that the times villain has something decent, you manage to build a big pot. Those are the important times.
DO NOT mistake sloplaying with checking a street for pot control/inducing bluffs, when you have a medium hand like TPTK
