Magnetohydrodynamic stability calculations of the n = 1 kink mode for equilibria with increasing β and values of the axis safety factor q0 > 1 and q0 1. This provides justification for the usual computational procedure of optimizing β by taking q0 > 1 and applying it to predict the β limit of sawtoothing discharges.
