In my honest opinion, you are much better off using slow playing tactics in a tournament than in a cash game.  The reason being this:

In a cash game, slow playing easily gets you into trouble, and you are risking a lot more money in these circumstances.  The long term gains of a cash game are relevant based on what happens over the next year, not necessarily what happens in a few sessions.  Bet all your strong hands strong, and you will get paid off in the long run.

In a tournament, your money is already invested.  Chips are generally managed more strictly and therefore; you have to take the best opportunities to build your stack gradually without risk.

Keep in mind my previous post however (Flopping a Monster).
