He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favor the gambler because they may bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
