He has no decision 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 rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favor the gambler because they could break the croupier when he hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
