I always mess up when I'm about to win?

I just always play worse. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to not mess up when I'm about to win a game?

Well I'm talking about any game really, but to choose one example which I'm sure you guys can relate to... poker

I always start getting really nervous when I have a good hand. Also, when I'm in the lead, have more chips than everybody, I can never keep control and finish them off.

Don't get so into the game - play with your head, not your heart. If you feel like you are going to win but the odds are against it, you'll probably lose.

you throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. simple! the Yankees just came off a huge emotional win. on the verge of moving on and then BOOM, they are down 3 runs in the first
