She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the casino when he hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
