I don't think you need to read a roster of only your "best stuff" or greatest hits--that too can get a little dull. Throwing a new poem or two in the mix makes it more exciting for poet and thus for audience.
I do think poems can be OVERperformed as well as underperformed.
I totally agree about over-anecdotalizing and excessively long/detailed introductions (that in fact preclude the need of the poem itself). Billy Collins' "The Introduction" is a great send-up of, well, an introduction.
And observe your time limit. Arrrrgh. That's the worst. To go way over is rude to your audience and to your fellow readers if you have any.
