What does Tony Soprano and his gang like to do when they're not too busy breaking knees and such? Play poker. At least that's the premise of mobile entertainment provider THQ Wireless' latest game. Fans of HBO's hit show, The Sopranos, can now feel like they're rubbing elbows with the Sopranos without first having to check the TV Guide. THQ Wireless just released The Sopranos Poker for Cingular Wireless users.

The Sopranos Poker pits players against the likes of Tony Soprano, Paulie, and Silvio in a game of 5-card draw going down in the back room of the Bada Bing!, the strip joint featured on the show. Players who run low on cash can bet personal effects like watches and chains. An added feature of the game lets players play like a real gangster, with the option of taking a peek at their opponents' hand. Cheating, however, is at a player's own risk, and anyone who gets caught will have to answer to the Soprano crew.

To spice things up, players can hang out in the Bada Bing! dressing room and take the dancers up on a little strip Texas Hold 'em. And you don't play your cards right, you may just lose your shirt. If you do, it's the dancers who will lose theirs.
