Did you share it elsewhere for people to upvote? Apparently you don't get karma for that. Only for organic upvotes.

The system is fairly resistant to gaming. The purpose is to post useful content.

All I did was submit this Ask HN here. I've not posted a link to it anywhere. As I write the post has 13 points and I have 51 points. Again. I'm sure my life would be much better if only I could escape from the clutches of 51. (I've been down to 49 and up to 52 since I posted.)

It's not actual real karma. It's just a number. Don't obsess about it; that's bad for your karma.
