A premonition of disaster

Whenever PokerStars reveals the hole cards of the players who are still in a hand, before the river card is dealt, the software also displays the percent chance of winning to the right of each player's name. It's nearly impossible, in such a situation, for me not to stare at the number to the right of my name, willing it to stay above 0. When it's 80 or above after the turn, but turns to 0 on the river, I have to say it hurts - especially when I'm all in. That's what happened on the final hand of last night's session. I had a premonition of disaster, but couldn't tear my eyes away.
