Play to win. First Tradition & Life Boom

I think this is a tricky one about play to win First Tradition is on the table. Player A has 1 or 2 pool Player X has a life boom Could player X negotiate with player A to commit suicide, paying 2 pool, so he can play his turn in exchange for being saved by the life boom? I am not tacking in account that player X could be fooling player A. Or the chances of player A to outs his prey.

Thanks. I guess a judge should judge if is a good way to maximize VPs. And a bonus round. Player A has only 1 pool Choose to play his turn. He has to pay 2 pool. He can't. He pays as much as he can (1 pool) and die. If I give him only 1 pool. He returns to life and then die again as he has to pay the remaining point. Am I right? I should give him at least 2 pool points.

Cardtext: "Give pool to a Methuselah with no pool to keep them in the game..." You must give the Methuselah enough pool to survive, that is 2 pool min. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director
