a couple things...
as someone already said to maleficent, the poker sites have no vested interest in how well you do, they're taking money off the top of all players. so if you're a winner or a loser, they still get their small %, the majority of the $$ you win is from other players.
how hard is it to win your money back? well, how good of a card player are you? heheh. if you're used to play money, forget everything you know immediately. if you don't, you'll lose your real money very quickly. here are my suggestions, because at first, I was tentative about playing real money too:
play tourney's - and play low money ones - i.e. $1 dollar plus 10 cent 10 person sit 'n go tourney's. like play money, you'll see a lot of knuckleheads in those games, because a dollar is peanuts, but at least there's real stakes involved. play tight, but aggressive. once you're comfortable, step it up to $3 dollar and $5 dollar tourney's. as your play improves, you'll see that you finish in the money more often and will start profiting.
btw, I started out with $25 on allstar.com, play there a couple times a week, and am up to about $300 in my account. typically I play either $10+$1 or $20+$2 sit and go tourney's.
I'd say good luck, but poker is a skill game. You need to get lucky to win, but you have to play smart first and foremost.
