That being said, there are good players who started playing hu at micros and worked their way up to high stakes.
This is probably more of a 6-max question...

But wouldn't learning to play heads-up, improve your 6max game, in the end?

I've heard that said several times, and i can imagine that you gain an edge in certain situation, like when the table just starts or breaks up, or in blind battle situations...

Or it might also helps you to adjust faster to aggressive 6max players in that you get more experience playing marginal hands for bigger pots.
