Well, Hades cannot invade Poseidon's oceans, since the dead cannot function underwater.

Zeus himself can destroy Poseidon and Hades's armies by bombarding them with his celestial thunderbolts, but he is really too stupid to do that.

Poseidon has limited control over lightning and it is implied that he can build an illegal arsenal of lightning bolts to overthrow Zeus. With that kind of a bargaining chip, Zeus would think twice before declaring war on Poseidon.

Hades stands a chance to beat Zeus if he takes out the remaining Olympians (except Poseidon), one after the other as well as stealing his arsenal. Without his allies and lightning bolts, Zeus is toast in front of Hades's death metal legions.

And if Poseidon and Hades go to war against each other, Poseidon can easily cause terrible storms, earthquakes, floods and other nasty disasters to wreck apart Hades's armies. He might even crack open the Underworld and expose it to the Sun.

Hades, on the other hand, can use his helmet and sword to drive away Poseidon's allies. His biggest trump cards are his infinite zombie legions, and they can be devastating if the war is fought on land. But the ocean god viz. Poseidon is too powerful to be defeated so easily.
