Deal precursor (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'deal precursor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Stake put up before the deal" , "Opening bet" , "Money for poker" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "Advance stake" .)
