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.

You make your best hand out of your 2 cards and the up to 5 cards on the table.
So if you have 2 aces and there’s 1 ace and 2 king on the flop, the best hand is a full house. 3 ace and 2 king.
If the next card is a ace, it’s now 4 aces.
Thank you, now it makes a lot more sense.
And you only play with 5 cards; Sometimes you’ll have three pairs or a spare ace in your hand that you might think gives you an edge, but if it’s not part of the 5 cards that make your best hand, it’s as if it doesn’t exist.

AKK flop best hand would be KKKKA. Holding AA on an AKK flop gives you second nuts.
I meant their hand, but true
I was just going off of what you wrote, couldn’t know what you meant
Of course you can. It’s called context.
The user didn’t know how to read his hand so I was explaining with an example of his hand, how to read his hand.
While you’re technically correct given how I worded it, you could absolutely know what I mean.
I’d even say adding that correction is fair as I did, but to claim you couldn’t know I’d strongly disagree on.
