Sorry but I could not successfully extract a question out of the morass of text that you posted. If you have one could you repost it in 15 words(okay maybe 20) or less?

Hi:
Try a Big club system.
I use 14-16NT and 1C-1D-1NT=17-19
Lots of room for transfers, stayman and others 'toys.'

Robert

Hi:
18 point hands are relatively rare.
I did not notice any special problem. A flat 8 opposite 17 in a 15-17NT is a much more common problem. Go with the odds and pass hoping that no makeable game exists.
If they are balanced and you play some version of 15-17 1NT(or a weak NT and 15-17 1NT rebid) you have to jump to 2NT to show 18-19 using standard methods.
You can try a 2C* rebid(that can rebid to show strong hands), however, that only delays the problem.
Regards,
Robert

Well Mike 777 and Shubi(is this Shubi ex E-bridge???).wheel them out

Card play was an aside but also needs prior agreements.
