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 don’t, you make a best guess and even then you can pretend you have a great hand. That’s why it’s gambling.
Also afaik there’s no counting cards in poker? I kind of wonder if you can now
In 7-stud having card memory is important because there are no common cards. There’s a famous scene in Rounders where Matt Damon’s character comes in a reads the “Judge’s Game” cold and mentions that one of the players had folded a card that was necessary for one of the players to win (I think the one that was bluffing), securing his clerkship. Good scene
Not in the same sense as with blackjack, but you can keep track of public cards to determine odds of a card appearing. For example, if you have one king in hand and there is one on the flop, it’s unlikely that 1 of the next 2 cards will be a king, so counting on it for a winning hand is a bad bet.
