Heads up

It is very risky to have a single player see the flop when you could have re-raised. Remember that it is always risky when you have multiple players involved.

Good position

If you are on a better position against the preflop raiser, then you have a a higher probability of raking in money. He will most likely go for it and push some chips to the middle upon the flop. If he checks, you can bet and that will just make him think that you have a real hand and exploiting his weakness.

Opponent makes continuation bet

When you slow play, you want the opponent to continue with his initiative before the flop so he can get his most if not all of his chips into the pot.

Money ratio

When the money is a bit shallow, you will most likely be called when you go for an all in reraise. When it is too deep, it might be too risky since there is a chance of outflopping the ace and you end up losing a lot of money. So look at the money ratio and make sure that you have the ideal amount for an effective slow play.
