Sorta. If you treat them like stronger players with stronger hand ranges, you're vastly under-estimating your equity in a lot of spots with them. So just keep gambling and make them show you hands whenever you have a piece.

The big thing with Hold'em is that unpaired hands pretty much whiff the flop 2/3rds or so of the time. When someone is playing a crapload of hands, often when they hit the flop it's going to be something weak. So really loose players need to somehow cope with this, particularly if they're paying lots of money pre-flop. So if the board is something like Q83 and you have JJ, you might give a tighter player credit for Qx or better. However, you should be more inclined to gamble with Mr. Short stack as he will more often have a worse hand.

The other advantage is that the table nits will sometimes flip the bozo bit on you and make mistakes because they don't pick up on the fact that you're playing them differently.
