He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
