I think the Morton's theorem applys here, but don't remember how you should play this. Google Morthon's Theorem and Implicit Collusion.

If I recall his theroy correctly it specifies just the opposite, you should bet/eaise early. Only that you are bound to lose with more players in the pot than less when you don't have the mortal nuts, it wasn't exactly earth shattering information when I first read it years ago on RGP.

Morton's theorem is that you make more money if your opponents fold worse hands.

Your link doesn't work.

The thing is, the pro is telling OP to try to check/raise, not to avoid betting. In this instance, with a maniac in the pot, he is likely to get the opportunity.

And there were, I think, four other people in the pot, not two.

Aside from those details, your post was fine.
