I agree with most of the responses, but the biggest mistake I see from NL players is if they have AQ or something on a Q high board on the turn and they think their opponent is on a flush draw, they will often bet the pot or overbet the pot by a large margin. Any decent player here of course is going to fold their draw getting very bad odds. Most inexperienced players will think they have accomplished their goal in getting the other player to fold their draw.

But wait....the object of poker is to get your opponent to make incorrect decisions. If you bet the pot or more than the pot, and they fold their draw, which a lot of players do, you made them play correctly by folding their draw...they are no longer making wrong decisions. Not to mention the times you bet your top pair $50 into a $25 pot to get your opponent to "fold his draw" then you get raised.......ooops.
