The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the player because they may bust the house when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
