Multiway nut low, trips with pair on the board

Generally, yes, you do have business shoving chips in the pot when you have 64.4% equity on the flop and 51.4% equity on the turn against three opponents. I'm not sure why you posted this hand. The only other consideration for this hand would be if it's better to lead out for the pot or try to check-raise someone. Your hand is a monster, get as many chips in as possible. Tough river, but like you said it doesn't (err shouldn't) matter.

Edit: FYI this is a not an example of how to play open trips in general. You also have the nut-low draw which gives you a lot of leverage to push much harder than usual.

In all honesty, I posted this because I suck at playing open trips. I'm always lost as hell. I suppose that open trips in Omaha is a hand that looks much stronger than it actually is, because of all of the ways that someone can draw out.

Open trips is crap. Open trips (with top kicker) + nut low draw is a monster, especially when that trips is a 2. Do you see why?

Your only play in this hand is to jam the turn against these donks. You're up against a flush draw, weaker trips, or naked low almost all the time here. Most will pay. It's extremely unlikely that any one opponent has you beat both ways, which means the absolute worst you'll face is a 3 way pot with 25% equity. Most of the time you'll have a huge equity against the probable range of hands though.
