Table type (Tournament/Sit & Go/Cash):
* Number of players at the table:
* Player types (Were any of the players loose, tight, aggressive or passive? If you have no information, say as much!)
* Stack sizes of the relevant players:
* Blinds/antes:
* Details on this hand:
£5.50 Bounty Hunter tournament, 6 players at the table. majority of players were tight and passive. One big stack bully. I had the shortest stack at the table, early stages late buy-in. Blinds were 50/100. Hand played down below. It seems as though I was wrong for calling in hindsight as the player was showing with raise amounts that they had either a straight or flush.
Any tips for future similar situations or any general relevant advice on BH tournaments will be appreciated.

You already said the players were passive so trying to let them do the betting for you isn't the best way to get all the chips in the middle by the river (which is what we want to be doing with our sets!) especially when the sizing is so small like this.
It's also a very dynamic board which means the nuts is often going to be changing on each street. Slow playing our strongest hands on these kinds of boards is rarely a good plan.
