Poker payment (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'poker payment' 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 "Preposition meaning before" , "Betting stake" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "A neat sort of prefix" , "See what gambler risks" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Universal, The Star Tribune, the Newsday, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
