Okay, 23 can't scoop you.
But if you let BTN draw to 23 while BB has the current best high hand, then you're looking for:
1) a 3 or
maybe a 2 to make low against the button and get half the pot.
2) an 8 or club to get the high half of the pot (btn still gets the other half, unless you pick up a higher club and the low draw doesn't come in)
3) a 3 of clubs or
maybe the 2 of clubs to scoop.
Basically, if you manage to push the BTN out of the hand, then unless BB has both high and low covered (AA23x, TT23x, AT23x), then you have a TON of outs to get back at least half the pot, and plenty of cards to scoop.
Leaving the BTN in w/ 23 gives you fewer scooping cards and very little chance to make the best low.
