($16)What is a maintainable Heads up % at an STT?

Not an especially thought provoking or inspiring question but just curious as to how excellent players do heads up. I know this is very dependent on bubble play and 3 person play. I'm doing well heads up but have a small sample size. (200 heads ups.)

anything over 50% is really good.

In most Turbo SNGs heads-up is almost pure luck, as blinds are generally enormous. If you can win >60 percent of the time, you're playing really well.

I've played over 1000 (200 are on $16 PS)or so heads up matches throughout my SNG career and I'm just under 60% and feel I've been quite lucky overall. I think that anything over 60% for a long stretch would be exceptional. Moreover, is being a good heads up player the most important thing about SNGs? Nobody ever talks about it but that is where the money is made, the difference between 1st and 2nd is huge and good players should be heads up pretty often. How often do people spend on working on their heads up game? I know I don't often but in thinking about it maybe I should.
