... if there's 2 or 3 cars in front of you, might as well wait behind it.
True. If you're going to get through the lights on this phase anyway, then there's no need to get into the ASL, you may as well wait in the queue of cars. This has the added advantage that, if you're feeling fast, you can stay in the stream of cars until you've overtaken any really slow cyclists and then pull to the left/into the bike lane.

Best advice out there, especially if there's 2 or 3 cars in front of you, might as well wait behind it.
