Sorry to disappoint you, but one out on the turn and river is 4.4% not 0.1%.
Losing to a one outer hurts, but the odds are not as bad as they feel.
There are several sources for calculating and viewing odds for outs that you should be familiar with to be successful. Good Luck.

My math might be wrong, but check this.

Q set vs pairs of 4s

Rainbow flop Q 10 10. For villain to win they need to hit a 2/45 on the Turn and a 1/44 on the river. That is some 0.15%

Hello! The most unbelievable and at the same time disappointing event happened to me playing at the cash table at PokerDom. When opening the flop, 7,8,2 (rainbow) comes out, I have 88, opponent with A, 7 is All-in, I naturally I answer, and here began tern 7, river 7. I could not even think of such a thing, but the game is a game, I just left.

According to the Cardschat Odds Calculator,
QQ vs 44 with a Q 10 10 board gives the villain 0.1% chance of winning.
With a 4 on the turn, the villain improves to 2.28%.

Regardless of how we view it, your way, my way, or some other way, the villain has to get really lucky to beat out the set of Queens.

How about losing a heads up tourney with a 10 high straight flush? Happened to me back about 13 years ago. Guy had the Jack.

A lot of what happened. This is poker. When everything is not working out for me in poker, I remember this moment from EPT 11.
