What's the dealer's advantage when I don't stand?

When you don't stand with a hard 16 against the dealer, the dealer's advantage increases slightly. While a hard 16 is a weak hand, hitting can sometimes improve it. The problem is, hitting also carries a higher risk of busting. This means for every time hitting a 16 improves your hand, there will likely be more instances where you bust. This uneven risk/reward imbalance gives the dealer a small advantage when players hit on a hard 16 instead of standing. The advantage is minor since hard 16s are uncommon, but it shows why the stand strategy is statistically the better play.
