Basically I have a very tight image at the table and so does the SB/BB. So I made a raise to try and steal the blinds and antes with a possible hand for straight. He called and I flopped a straight, he bet, i 3bet, he shoves and I call. He has a flush draw obviously gets it and I am out the tournament. Should I have even played this hand in the first place? Could people fold this?

people at this BI usually don't care about image

The preflop is questionable - 96o usually doesn't hit well, but if you think they are tight it's ok.

As to flop - raise more his bet ~ 1600. No way I'm folding.

especially at the lowest buy ins i wouldn´t steal hands like this one. you have a very comfortable stack and no pressure at all. just play solid value poker instead.
furthermore i don´t like your raise size. something like 375 sounds good to me.

going broke postflop should be standard but i would raise a bit more


well he has just a flush draw he hits 25% (?) if the time so the push was good I suppose but I wouldn't steal pre flop

Not worth risking ur stack at this stage with 96o. Wait for a better spot and fold PF. As played I like it. But this is almost he best possible scenario u can hope for with this hand. Keep ur chips together and don't ask for trouble when u don't have to.

This exactly. Also that thing about opponents not caring about your image is also correct.
