"In Before 'As Played'" - Loose CO open becomes difficult hand vs BTN

No real reads on the table yet. Playing on Ignition, where the population tends to be loose-passive. Nobody at this table (except me, hopefully) has bucked that trend to this point, but BTN hasn't been at the table long.

Pretty loose open that I'm not thrilled with in retrospect. It's probably fine-ish, but obviously it's not a fantastic combo. Feedback welcome; maybe I'm being too hard on this aspect.

I'd be happy to take down the pot here. Am I too merged here, or is this pretty reasonable as a thin-value/semibluff bet? Top pair second kicker with the second nut flush draw is pretty middling territory...

Turning two pair and no draws completing, I think I need to fire big for value and protection. However, in retrospect, there are only so many good rivers for me...

Not the worst river but definitely not the best. 78 gets there, but that's basically the only new development here.
What's the best action on the river against an unknown? I don't know if there's another street of value to be had against a worse ace (especially if it hasn't improved to two pair, which we block a bit with our three pair). I also don't know that I want to check to induce, because it seems like that's missing value against some checkback hands and making for a somewhat difficult decision if villain does bet, as that line fits 78, 55, and 66 pretty well (none of which we have blockers against). A villain bet also fits spades, but we have a couple ourselves.
(Feedback welcome for every street.)
