Bidding goes:



2♦ - 2NT - 3♦ - 4♥
2 Diamonds is weak
Is 4♥ a tranfer or is it natural?

Thank you

Not for me. In general, 4♦ is Stayman, so 4♥ is natural.

I usually play Texas through 3♣ interference, not 3♦.

we don't use transfers after 2NT overcalls or after 3rd seat bids if partner makes a 1NT o/c, so it is easy for us.

My rule is that to play Texas as long as Lebensohl/Rubensohl still applies. That way I have a system for interference of 2♠ and lower (xxxsohl + Texas) and for 2NT and higher (Natural).
