Is it correct to fold here?

Llamaman

Was playing a bit of omaha today and came across this interesting hand. Even though I flopped the house I actually folded to a raise simply because I had almost no history vs villian. I would like to know whether you all think this would be a long run profitable play against an unknown opponent or whether I should usually be shoving due to it being A8xx, K8xx too often?

It would be a remarkably sneaky play for him to pot raise you with quads - he would have to be fairly confident that you had 77 or were capable of paying for a draw on a paired board.
I guess that he could have 87 but I think you're ahead.
If he has the 8 then you need to dodge him pairing any of his 3 hole cards assuming he doesn't hold a pair.
You're 58/42 if he has no pair and 73/27 if he has a pair in his hand.
If you fancy 58/42 then get as much in the pot as you can as quickly as you can.
If you flat call him, you have no idea whether he housed up on the turn (or river) so there's no point in waiting around.
I would definitely say that this is the long term profitable play.

P.S. It feels a bit odd "advising" someone who has consistently stuffed me at Omaha.

Me too, & for that reason, I shall not reply to Mr Llama!

Mr Llama is, & I do like a bit of understatement, a "most accomplished" Omaha player. The Omaha liquidity on here is a bit thin still (it will grow in time), but I fancy Mr Llama will be ordering his Ferrari & his yacht soon out of his Omaha winnings here. He nicks a steady few hundred quid here almost every night. GREAT fun to play, too, takes his beats like a proper man. 

There's always "musical chairs" on Lama's Table, as we all jostle for a seat behind him!
