The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the house when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
