The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the casino when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
