She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the dealer when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
