This is false logic. Suppose we are in a poker game, you have AA and I have KQ. We go all in. The flop is KQJ, then turn is a 10. The prospect of that situation was sitting right there from the start, but now you have less options to win (with A, K, Q, and 9, giving the win to me. If you admit waiting for the river makes you anxious I'd say you are very attentive, not inattentive for noticing that I have increased my original 20% win chance to around 30%.
