I’m trying to learn how to play and I understand what community cards are, what they do, who goes first/last, etc, but how do the cards in your hand effect the game? I can’t find the answer anywhere and it’s getting confusing.

The cards in your hand, plus the cards on the table are the cards you can make your hand from. There will always be two cards available to you that you leave out of your hand. Whoever has the best hand wins. It could also be a tie. Let’s say there’s a royal flush on the table. Everyone ties because that’s the best hand, regardless of what’s in your hand, so the pot is split between all the players who didn’t fold.
