Incluso sí tuviera dos hamburguesas, no te daría una.
I used tuviera for had, tuve seems like it could work though, and be more like "received"...."received" two hamburgers. . I'm thinking tenía wouldn't work there but I'm not sure on this one. It's possible that incluso si is like como si though, in that it always activates imperfect subjunctive, and therefore needs tuviera, and I feel that is likely too. Please discuss this. I don't know.
