why is 23o the worst hand in heads-up?

On the contrary, 27o is the worst hand at a full table.
What causes the difference?

The higher card strength with the 7 plays better HU, and the 23 plays better at hitting straights at a full table. Like if you hit a pair with 23 HU, it's more likely to get outdraw on than 27 will if you hit your 7.

Mind you, they are both utter garbage.

It's like asking someone if he would rather drown or suffocate.

Interesting question on a '1st post'

23 isn't necessarily the worst hand in a heads up game.

It *is* the worst hand to play hot and cold (being all in, seeing all 5 board cards run out) though, as everything dominates it, even 72.
