The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the house when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
