In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.
The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the player because they might break the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
