Call or fold over time?

Whats the common view on these type of situations. I havent been playing the game long and these types of hands are still a bit of a grey area. No read on the player, although he seems to get involved maybe too much so his range is reasonably wide in my opinion.
Basically, is this a call due to me having 2 over cards or is this a situation where you just have to let go? Any explanation on this type of scenario from the more experienced players would be very helpful.
My take on this is that he only hits his flop 1 out of 3 times so i am unlucky if he has hit his jacks here but also, if he had hit, would he be making a statement like he did by betting here. If he has hit i would have thought he would checked so he could easily be c-betting. Basically i dont know what the correct play is.

Your OOP in whole hand against someone who seems to know how to play so I'd think calling flop isn't good as you realy need to hit, for me it's a fold. Although maybe the fact he can play also means he can fold to a raise but I don't like bluffing at these limits.
Dunno, guess i am really asking how often does he bet this if he hits his jacks? Majority at this level will fold to a bet on a board like this and he will know that. Maybe a fold on the flop will be a better decision over time but i always think 'how often does he have it?'
