Poseidon is in fact a deity as he said, but anyhow Hades and Poseidon are in different situations.

Hades is like the Peter Pan of his realm and he knows everything that goes on. He also has full power over the entire Underworld dimension. Poseidon only rules the seas and he has competition with Ursula, Merlin, and the DOs and what not. Zeus likely has a pocket world as does Hades but Poseidon shares his with too many people.

I theorize that Poseidon created the trident to hold a portion of his power. After all, Ursula absorbed the trident but her magic still wasn't able to outdo Poseidon's, who still had powers.
