In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can’t.

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favour the player because they might break the house when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
