Poker starter (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'poker starter' 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 "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "See what gambler risks" , "Money put at risk" , "Fixed stake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the Penny Press.
