First hand of a turbo sit n go. 1 limper, you raise to 3x bb, it comes down to heads up. Lets say the flop is KQJ unsuited and you hit the flop fairly decently. You bet the flop and the turn, your opponent flat calls both times. Both turn and river cards are insignificant, something like a 4 and a 6.
On the river your opponent open pushes. You obviously have no reads, but based on the action, how strong must your hand be for you to call? AK? 2 pair? A set? Or are you only calling with the nuts in this situation?

Personnaly,the first hand,with no info,at least two pair.Villian prolly flopped the straight,and was slowplaying u.Or he hit his second pair on the turn or river.I woulnt gamble my whole stack this early without a set at least,and i woulda bet that post flop.Helps alot more if we knew your holecards.If this don't make senceit could be that I'm drunk and half asleep.So what were your hole cards?AK is my guess,if so ,fold.
Edit:Sorry,now that I'm sober I see u bet on all rounds although you didn't mention the size of the post flop bets(which is very important info).Givin that I still would fold,and keep an eye on this guy.

I probably need two pair most of the time, really though so much information is missing it's tough to say.
Personally in the SNG's I'm used to, the first hand is crazy enough I usually need 2 pair on that kind of board to think seriously about calling. A set and I'm going broke nearly every time first hand. There is something about having to wait those 1 or 2 minutes for the SNG to start that seems to make people crazy, so my hand requirements lessen a bit.

AK is an easy fold ... I need top two pair on the river to call here, because you're more likely to be looking at weak two pair (i.e. Q4, J6 in this example) than a made straight.

It also helps to know what odds you're getting. Generally, if it's a bit bet I need at least top two to call in this spot.
