Right. So essentially if you're winning the hand, you probably just call, and maybe even fold. So when you shove with the NFD, you should be expecting him to call with all the hands better than yours (so this isn't a bluff), in which case you're just getting him to fold his worse hands and getting in as an underdog if he does call.
If you're doing this because "I don't want him to improve, would prefer him to fold those worse hands now..." maybe.
I mean, this isn't terrible, but be aware its not really a bluff either. Usually when we bet it's to either get called by worse, or to get better hands to fold, and this does neither of those things.
Bear in mind, I'm talking on this particular board. I'm not saying that a semi-bluff shove in a 3 bet pot facing a c-bet is bad, I'm saying you need to consider your range when you do so, taking into account board texture.
