Greedy Algorithm

It is glassonion's turn to move... she could either take my poison, d20 or my V-swing d12. Many people avoid swallowing big poison at any cost -- and certainly that would keep her score on the next turn higher -- but can you see an argument for eating the poison now? Is it persuasive? [the alpha test of the buttonmen server -- ooh, it makes me happy typing that! -- doesn't show the captured dice, but you can deduce it from the score.  For the record, I've captured a d10 from her and she's captured my shadow d20.]
