In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un 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 could break the croupier when he hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
