This is atrocious advice. This spot is almost exactly the same as if Hero had limped the button with J

, a play very few people here would advise against. Postflop is still important even if preflop is a mistake.
I agree with the advice that we should have kept betting in a heads-up pot, but in a multiway pot it is too dangerous. I actually want to give up here, or at least see a cheap showdown, after seeing 3 flop callers. Anyone could be slowplaying, anyone could have turned aces up, anyone could have just hit top pair with their nut flush draw...it doesn't have to happen all the time. It just has to happen enough of the time that the bet isn't profitable. And it's more likely the more opponents there are.
If we are ahead, this bet is thin because so many rivers will lose us the pot (and maybe even another bet), but if we are behind we are throwing money away. This is also less of an issue heads-up because the turn bet will be smaller in relation to the flop bet.
Overall, this is a bad turn spot and I'm not crying over missing thin value here by checking back.
