Payment for a hand (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'payment for a hand' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Advance stake" , "Preceding birth" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "Poker pot starter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
