Thanks for that advice. You're definitely right and I need to learn to do that better.
To be honest, at 25NL, the necessity is lower due to the type of passive calling station that seems to be at every table. The players are so passive that it feels like standard 20/16 play (maybe a little looser) is essential. I think though that even at 50NL it becomes very important to adapt to your table. I'm guessing that was one of my bigger leaks at 50NL.
