Default Why do I play loose passive toward the end of a session?

Just started playing micro stakes limit. I try to play 200-500 hands a day depending on time. Whether winning or losing, the last 20-30 hands I play, I play very poorly. I don't think about being up or down until this point and all of a sudden my style completely changes. I know I should be raising but I just can't do it.I turn into a calling station. I don't know if there is a real question here or I'm just whining but any ideas on how to fix this would be helpful.

Sounds like you might be trying to protect your wins/ minimize your losses near the end of a session, since you know your about to quit.

I do the same thing occasionally for just this reason when I book a big win and am finishing up my orbits.

Played last night but I didn't do it. I think it's because I'm more aware of it after posting this. I was trying to think of random ways to end a session so that I don't do this anymore. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate them. Only one I thought of was, after a set number of hands, I'm only going to finish out what ever orbits I have left or stop at the next :10 on a clock. 1:20 for example. This way I'm only playing 5-10 hands more as opposed to 30 or 40.
