The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
