Cash Games
-Generally, I never call a raise when I'm in the blinds. I'm in the worst position after the flop. I'd really have to have good cards to call.
-If there is no raise, and more than two callers, I'll usually play any suited cards or connectors. Also big cards, but usually not any ragged high card.
-If all fold but the button, and there is a raise, I will call with less (because I'll put him on a blind steal.) If I have anything decent, I'll re-raise.
-Any A or K, and I'll attempt to blind steal if noone else has limped.

Tournaments
-A lot of it has to do with chip count, type of players, the bubble/cashing situation, and what the cards are (obviously).
-I'm tighter in a tournament than in live play. For whatever reason.

For addtn'l information, Tommy D (?) has a really good article about calling a raise from blinds. Check it on Cardplayer.

Hope this helps.
