Shoving is an option. Villian could be drawing, villain could be on a flush draw, villain could be on the same draw or a higher straight draw, villain could have a mid pocket pair, etc. There's maybe some fold equity there and hitting just your jack may be good.
Without a read, I would consider putting him on a population range and figure out what the general population would have in these spots as well as their likelihood to fold. I think there's a lot of draws the general population has and folds here. I'd also consider my own image so far for the session. If I've been a little card dead and playing tighter (see: getting fewer hands to play) than usual, I think that helps increase the fold equity in these spots.
Without a read, I also consider my image and if it deserves some additional consideration from the table.
